Default 14.40s @ 94mph.

Went to the track to see how the truck is doing.2 Downright horrible runs. Track conditions were deplorable, they shoved test and tune into the last hour of the day after 5 oil downs (and one rear axle that fell off of a duster) along with the track being slightly slick from oil, they had us run in a light drizzle! Ricer excuses, yea, but thats how it was. I couldnt get better than a 2.1 60', kept spinning (same 60 as last year). Still need to put in the posi in so I can use the slicks I have wich will help a lot. I still have a lot of adjustments to make before its running right. One thing that is really needed is that I adjust my shifter linkage. Its off quite a bit, and both runs I shifted into neutral. On top of that, I had almost 500 lbs more in the truck than I did when I ran 15.03s last year. So with all the drawbacks of the day, going 5mph faster and 6 tenths quicker Im relitively content. I dont think it should be slower than 14.0 as it stands once everything is adjusted. I dont think I will have any issues getting 13.5 or so once I have the gears in. If I do get arround that, Ill be getting a converter as well and then a nitrous system with a small shot just to squeek 12s out this year.

This i'm guessing was the first time out to the track this year? Well if it was i don't really consider that a dissappointment with the said track conditions. Picked up 6 tenths from last year with all that was lost then redone is quite a feat if you ask me. I'm sure you have more ideas of where you are and what needs to be done to get it where you want it to be. I would consider that a good step stone. Great work indy, and keep it up. Also do you have any recent pics of it, i havent been on here much lately working on my own things if you already posted them.

oh yea, I totaly agree with you. Its a great starting point. I need to grab a new charger for my camera before I can get any pictures or videos. Next weekend I believe Im going back to the track and Ill be bringing a couple people with me that can take videos so hopefully I get it by then.

Idk I hate to be negative but I don't think thats that great from the way everyone on here talks about how fast your car is. Thats not that much faster than my Honda thats stock. I mean I guess it's good for a Ram and it's awesome how you built it back up so quickly but I don't think that is that fast. I do however think you are well on your way and for a Dodge Ram that is a pretty good time. It's a super nice looking truck. Post up some new pictures of it.
