that looks like fun. I can't believe you got a 16.5 w/ that start. BTW, how do your tires look after that burnout? do you think you would have been faster w/ a 6spd?

good video. next time try to get the camers farther down the track. and pan from the start to finish. . also you would have done better with the corporate rear. those one leggers will spin forever.

ya, on another camra we have one of ferther down about mid track but havent seen it yet, I took the headlight out because the stock airbox aims straight for the back of it and without it there the air flows right in. and My rear is a 9.25 with 3.55 gears.

Does your truck have limited-slip in the rear end? The guy doing the filming was right. That was a pretty good burn out you did as you were approaching the starting line. I heard the guy say 16.5. Was that for a quarter mile?

ya 1/4 mile and no limited slip it was my brother that was filming. the other person that filmed at half track I finally got to see the video and I will be buying her a tripod so the truck is in the video and not the lights/sky/anything else. got to go finish washing it for a show tonite....

Pretty good times for the quad cab. Mine was a bit slower, but that's because I had slowed down looking for the finish line in the midst of a bunch of other lines for the regular track that blends in with the drag strip.
