Competition 6spd 1/4 mile e.t.s

[Iwant1]

I posted something on another site about this awhile back, but this is a better place for it.



Anyone with a bombed 6spd hit the drag strip ever? I realize autos and five spds are quicker, but there has to be some semi-fast six-speed guys out there.



So... . what are your times, what bombs(especially clutch), what gear do you launch in, do you launch in 4wd?

 

[mgoncalves]

If I ever make it to a drag strip, you can bet that I'd launch in third gear 4X4. I'll have to get back to you with the time that might produce.



I think there has been some mid to high 12's with the sixer. Problem is, most of the guys that drag have an auto.

The begining of last summer I ran a 13. 3 with my six speed. I should be able to do a little better this coming race season

I was running a single charger(B1) a dual disc clutch(EEP),JR Adkins NNstage IIs inj. ,and a Edge Drag Comp. I think Jeff Prince ran low 12s rowing through the gears. (twin turbo truck)

Ask Wayne how he cuts such good E. T. 's with his 5-speed... . between him and Jeff Prince... they're about as good as it gets with the NV-4500.



Wayne's hard on parts, though. :-laf

Hmmm

Notice Jeremy (01HO) didn't say what gear he launched in.

Hold on to your chairs boys (mostly so ya don't fall over laughing) I have drag raced a couple of time and the fastest time was 17. 88 with an 8500 lbs + truck launching in 2wd 2nd gear about 2400 rpm. I could probably do better if I had some practice and watched the lights on MY side of the tree.

Have you been taking lessons from Stakeman? LOL

 

[StakeMan]

At least my wheels stay on.

 

[Rob Thomas]

That was low, even for you.

 

[StakeMan]

Not as low as your truck with 3 wheels.

Good thing you guys are several states apart.

It would matter anyway Justin, stakes leash doesn't allow him much movement, and can't seem to leave the yard.

 

[StakeMan]

Seems like the dumper truck can't leave the yard without loosing parts. You could say it takes a "dump" on him.

Didn't you let your membership lapse?

 

[csevers]

I am not much of a drag racer, that lightning fast E. T. was the last time I raced I was watching the other guys tree and he red lighted. Go figure, I will try it again this year, but I will try to lighten up the truck and I have more hp and see if I can break the slow poke barrier.

I'm gonna get mine to the track to baseline while its stock. Then as I bomb it I'll go back. More fun and cheaper than the dyno(not that I won't hit the dyno when aval. ). I've been dreaming about a CTD for years. I can't wait.
