Ain't no way I'm gonna win this thing, but here is the infromation just the same.
West Coast Sacramento Meet was a blast this past weekend. Being my first time on the strip with my R/T (or any other 4-wheel vehicle for that matter), I entered the Saturday Test and Tune for the experience. Before that, I read the recommendations for drag racing our trucks, so I had some options:
#1. Leave it in "D" with OD off
#2. Leave it in 2 and manually shift into "D", with OD off
#3. Leave it in 2 and manually shift into "D", but have the OD on
I messed with #1 and #2, but didn't bother with #3. Reading the input, and listening to others at the track, I went with #2 above for the races, after getting in 12 passes on Saturday, and 3 before the racing began on Sunday. 14.71 dial in(I put 14.712 on the glass, just for giggles).
Below is my best ET using #1 above:
Place:
October 2013 Sacramento raceway. I believe the DA was 25 feet above sea level.
Mods:
Heavy Mod N/A
Mopar Perf. Computer
Huge K&N Custom CIA
50mm FB TB
Modified Kegger Intake ported to match the heads
Eddy Heads
HS 1.7 Rockers
PPH Headers exiting through the smog-legal cat and into a single in, dual out Spintech Muffler
Stock original shortblock, stock cam, stock injectors, stock ignition
Beefed up valve body for the stock trans
Stock rear gears
Stock RT Wheels and Federal 255/55-17 Tires
17 total runs for the weekend. I know I need to work on my reaction time, but more than that I probably need to get rid of that stock cam that will still allow it to pass smog.
I am not a drag racer, and don't plan on being one with this truck or any other vehicle, but I had a great time out there with everyone.
