Thanks, I don't want it to stand out too much on the road. It's bad enough when the wife drives it and the smoke coming off the rear tires

Impressive, any details on the modifications. I started by having the trans built to hold around 1000hp, removed the DPF and CAT and installed a new 3" down pipe and 4" turbo back exhaust. I Installed EFI live tuning with a DSP5 selector switch, this gives me 5 different tunes, optimized stock, 40hp tow tune with turbo brake, 125hp, 175hp, and 230hp max effort. Next was a fuel lift pump to support the added HP and HD tie rods and a center link brace for the front end so it can do boosted 4x4 launches without the front end folding. With the mods to date she is putting down about 525hp on the 230hp max effort tune. The 13.78 run was the wife running the 175hp tune so it should get into the 12s on the 230hp tune. |

I had Screamin Diesel Performance do my trans build, Scott and his crew did a great job on it. It took a day to do and he let us use his 700hp shop truck for the day  I still need to do the EGR delete.

Nice run - would never expect that. lol
Guessing you would be in the 13.5's if you worked on your 60'? I've always wanted to drag a vehicle at a track, just never had anything worthy. Last year picked up a IS350 to DD which most people get into the 13's with stock, but it's my gas-saving kid hauler. My wife would make fun of me if she found out I went to PIR I think. lol I only wish she was cool enough to want to take it down and actually make a run with it.

Thanks, she did well for her first time to the track. I think I can get the truck into the high 12's, I still have the next tune up that is 230hp over stock She was only leaving the line at 10psi of turbo boost and was hooking up real well so I think next trip we are going to shoot for 15psi boosted launches, that should lower her 60' time.
We have been together for over 25 years and she is a keeper. She was actually the one to suggest doing it so I got a green light to build the truck. I tried to make it wife proof, boy did I screw up now I can't get her out of it. She has tried to take my truck but I am looking for another one and then it will be hers.

I used to run my drag bike there for years. If you get into racing, it can take over all your time and money. You'll be looking for that next .1 of a second. I don't know if she still races out there, but a gal was running a 4x4 diesel truck in the mid 11's when I was racing. You could see the change in tune when she pulled into the burn out box, all of a sudden lots of black smoke!
It was fun to watch her smoke a lot of cars that thought they would blow her doors off.

She's into the low 13's. I'd imagine a few people at her local strip wouldn't guess it. |

Nice, it would cost too much to get my crew cab into the 10's at 7140lbs. I think I can get into the mid 12's with my currant set up, 530hp and 950ftlbs of torque to the wheels. but I might buy a regular cab and strip it and build a dedicated race truck. What kinda car do you have? |

I just picked up my 2008 Viper last September. I'm really more interested in track racing vs drag. But knowing what I can do in the 1/4 is nice to know. Already done the Race ECU controller from MOPAR and some small stuff. I'm looking at headers right now being worth a little boost in HP. OE flows well, bellanger or BBG flows better. If the ECU tuning is ever released for it, I'll be looking at a SC. For now... about 150 hp worth of nitrous is an easy way to get to the mid 10s.

Went down to the second race of the season yesterday, made a few changes to the truck and the wife got the truck into the 12's. She made it past round one and then red lighted on her second run, but she ran a 12.95@102mph. here are a few videos of the day.

Went down to the test and tune to get ready for this weekends bracket race, took along my V2 to data log some runs because they don't allow electronics at the races for the Sportsman class. Well the truck is losing rail pressure on my 230hp max effort tune, at WOT it is about 4500psi lower than commanded.
The run I logged I was still able to beat an Audi RS5, I heard the guy telling everyone how awesome his $70,000 car was with the carbon fiber body and insert panels. I just happened to line up with him on the next run, after I beat him he parked his car and walked the other way Sorry about the video the wife got excited.
