Ran some zero to 60 and 1/4 mile this weekend with new Trinity.

14.8 1/4 and 0-60 in 6.5

Tonight the truck ran a 0-60 in 6.4

This is using 87 tune without any other mods.

If you really think it will be that close, might I suggest distracting him with a good looking woman whilst your buddies slip a few hundred pounds worth of sand bags in his bed

Good read that someone sent me a PM on. Looks like my bro is looking for advice. Not to mention he reads our thread on this event. Have fun reading, I am too busy getting my truck for a fun night of racing.
Any other things to help me with getting the best ET possible would be great. Has anyone experienced the Y pipe yet. I hav a brand new magnaflow ypipe that I am thinking about putting on but I am worried about the lack of backpressure.

Running the 0-60 tonight and ran 6.2 with Diablo 93 tune. I would imagine at the track with some grip I should be able to hit 0-60 in 6.

Update:
Tuesday Night
2009 Ram vs 2007 Tundra (previously posted 2008 but I was wrong)
09 Ram Crew 4x4 Sport
24' Mufflex
AFE Drop in
Diablo Tuner

07 Toyota Crewmax 2wd
5.7 TRD intake with Borla Catback
Sitting in shop for Custom Tune on Unichip tomorrow
22 inch rims

I think we were running really close until he just went in for the tune but we will see.

I've been trying to follow along this thread by e-mail subscription, but maybe I missed it - could you post the details of the tuner you're using? And where is the cheapest place to purchase one?

Default Trinity

I ordered the trinity which does the same thing as the predator but has more bells and whistles. I just spoke to my buddy who owns a parts retail/ speed shop. He is calling his distributor to get prices on the Trinity/ Predator. If he can offer a group buy I will start a new thread. Would anyone be interested. I already have the Trnity hooked up and the difference is great!

25 hours until the gates open!!!! My bro is having some issues with his Tundra but I am going anyway. I hope he gets everything figured out before then so we can at least see what each truck is capable of with these mods. I will try to post some times from my phone tomorrow night.

yeah, Unichips canned tunes suck. A lot of tundras have had no gains and some even lost power with it. A lot of check engine lights too. A custom tune is the only way to go, and unichip tuners are far and few between. Hopefully he goes anyway. I think it'd still be close. A guy on tundra solutions just posted his 1/8th mile time bone stock at 9.3 @ 75 mph. Thats pretty fast for a truck that big. Same model as your brothers.
