 Subject: First 1/4 run for my 4.7L

Message:
Wasn't sure what to expect, but here is the best results:
15.12 @ 89
I weighed the truck and with 1/2 full of gas it was 3,930 lbs (with driver and trailer hitch)at Maryland International Raceway, Budds Creek, MD.
Traction was a problem as was some wheelhop. It was fun and expect better times with more practice and some mods. It's all stock right now. Maybe I should have dropped the spare?

Roadmaster or traction bars will fix some of that wheel hop. Of course then you'll just burnout, but now you're set for slicks!

spring clamps are a cheap way to get rid of most of the wheelhop... Under $10 and only a few minutes to install... Good times though...

Yeah, I'm thinking about getting some traction bars from Competition Engineering. I'll have to do some research to see if they effect the ride any. This is my daily driver. Not sure about the Roadmaster setup. Seems kind of pricey for what looks like a pair of modified garage door springs.
I'm a still a little bit amazed at the 1/4 mile times though. It seems like the 4.7L is under rated or something.
