You need to regear. Atleast you beat the Explorer. Once I regear get some headers and a Tuner, I'm definitely going to the local Drag strip

yeah i knew mine was bad too. but i just had to know, and all my friends with their fast cars were going out to race, so i had to also, even if i dont have my trans am yet lol

thats how i know track prep sucked and so did the weather and altitude.
my best friends 12 sec wrx only ran a 13.8 even with a 1.8 60ft

Although - Track prep wont mean squat for our trucks.. we run so much weight and Im pretty positive with yoru gearing and 33's theres no way you were chirping tires off the line..


Track prep is much more important to boosted vehicles starting up down the line and squiggling left and right..


The big factor is temp, and of course altitude and such... and its a truck :-D haha

Sweet. I should have run my sport trac after I had 4.88's with 33's. Would have been sweet off the line, but anything would have run past me after there was a little speed. lol

Ty, When I had the Ranger on 33's with 4.10's I was running a consistant 18.33-18.38. Thats at 6000 ft elevation with a DA of close to 9000 ft.

The 250 is about a consistant 19.53-19.73. Hard to find my dial when it does that.

You'd be surprised how much track prep effects all vehicles. I know when Bandimere had crappy track prep, my Ranger would spin and get squirrly. My 250 I know when the track is crap cause I'll actually spin going into 3rd. Good prep I won't

That is what 100+F does to turbo cars...at our Muscle vs Hustle meet it was similar weather and the turbo cars just couldn't perform.
