    Default Fml 2.0

    Second points race in a row I've missed out on.
    Last race my distributor seemingly died over night, it ran great on Saturday. Dead on Sunday. truck stated missing during the burnout for first time trial. No race, no points.
    OK, no prob....Next race pays bonus points, I can make it up.
    Yesterday, truck was fast, I was hitting the tree...I'm good to go.
    Leave the truck at the track over night in a friends pits.
    This this morning I go through tech, fill up with gas, adjust air pressure...Line up in the staging lanes for the first time trial, but my volt meter is reading zero, so I hop out, lift the hood and check a few common culprits and see a pool of transmission fluid.
    Damn...Someone is dripping transmission fluid, that sucks....Oh shit. It's me!!!
    Drive back to the pits, a braided stainless steel line running to my transmission cooler rubbed on the frame long enough to creat a leak...Every fuel line, brake line and battery cable on my truck is protecd from everything, except this little 1/4" long area.
    Busted.....Loaded up and drove home.

    Yeah, something decided to go liberal on me.
    Volt meter is dead too.
    Two weeks to figure this shit out.

    What kind of horsepower and torque are you putting out? I was hoping to be in the mid to low 11s with my 408 but I don't think that's going to happen.

    But what are your mods, there's nothing magic about a few more cubes, ya gotta back it up.
    What does your truck weigh? I've dropped about 100 lbs off mine.

    I'm not sure on the weight. It's a club cab with full interior and a sub box. As for the engine it has ported engine quest heads with a 3 angle valve job, port matched Edelbrock Air Gap, 9.7 ish to 1 compression, this cam https://www.summitracing.com/parts/h...iew/make/dodge , probably spintech headers, and a 3 inch exhaust. Right now I have a 8.25 rear end with 3.55 gears and an aussie locker and 29ish inch tires.

    Edit: My elevation is 338 feet

    Gonna take a lot more than that to hit low 12s , I ran a 12.2 with a 150 shot and a lot more mods and 4.56 gears, yes it's not a 408 but it's also a 4500 lb pig

    I don't know. It's never been down the track. It's not actually an RT. It has a 3.9. I'm going to guess 15s
