Congrats to Nick (The Hammer)
We had a track rental yesterday at Atco, and Nick finally got his goal of a 12 second run. 99 Lightning, Bassani Cat-back, JLP Cone filter, Tune, ported throttle body and plenum. Ran on Nitto Drag Radials on a 60* day and the track temp was about 75*.
12.891 @ 105.88. 1.88 60' (not his fastest, it was bogging some)
Fastest stock pulley (full weight, stock motor, no extra power adder) truck is turning 12.78s so I believe there will be a new record for that coming up soon. Congrats Nick, lets get a cold night and set the new record.

Jon
thanks sooooooooo much for all the help yesterday i definitely could not have done it all without you!
that first 12 second pass was by far the best one....i couldn't stop smiling after that
so it looks like i'll be going for that stock pulley record...i know we can get it, just need some of that cool fall air

Nick, see if anyone has a set of skinnies you can borrow for the night. Skinnies are easily worth 2 tenths on a heavy truck like yours.
A little good air and some skinnies and you will go flying by that record.

Sounds like you need to talk to your tuner, maybe get him some data log info, and get back to it ASAP.
Keep it going, borrow skinnies, get those headers on, work on staging super shallow, go get that record!!!.

haha everyone agrees that 1. i need a cooler night 2. i have more left in the truck/tune 3. i can break the record )
just all 3 have to come together..i have some more tricks up my sleeve
me and the guy who set the record are at similar mods...so i want to keep everything the same and break it

Get the headers on and the tune retouched and rip that record to pieces
No need to worry about keeping it similar if you can make the new record last a while

The headers void the warranty on that exhaust, I believe he wants to do it without them.

Martin, your tune blows! Slow shifts, knock retard, and dropping timing at the 1000' mark sucks.
