Speed was 90-92mph. Keep in mind that I don't have the accurate weight to input into the G-Tech yet...will have that this weekend in Houston.

I used to launch at 2100RPM (32" BFG's) and now have to launch at 1500RPM (or i'll smoke my new tires).

I did keep the 4.10:1 gears so she's pretty quick right out of the hole...we'll have accurate timeslips on Saturday.

Uhhhh...those aren't "R/T Wheels". They're the Mopar Accessory wheels (same look - different part number...and about $300 less than the R/T wheels). ;)

Great truck, please lose the over the rail tool box and bed ties though.

I would have left it redneck, I'd bet it would run a 12.8 in the quarter!!!!!

The toolbox stays as it's still a "Truck" and used as a "Truck". The way I see it, I run the truck the same way on the track as I do on the street...no stripping parts for weight reduction since that wouldn't give me an accurate timeslip for what she can do in street form. ;)

Yeah...the bed was out of line in the picture but that's been fixed.

I agree 100% with what bernd just stated. I think its funny to see trucks running without tailgates and (pasenger) seats at the track. why not just take off the bed?

bernd, it must be nice to have a "work truck" with a blower and all sorts of other goodies. ;-)

I love the new look. I bet it drives a little nicer on the street at least. Do you like those rear window shades? If youre runnin 14.9 with all that crap(toolbox, tailgate, spare etc) think what you can do without it...
Overall nice work.
