Well,
We made it back a few hours ago after an excellent weekend of racing in Houston. The drive was nasty as can be with massive amounts of rain and light flooding on the road (actually had to drive at 20-25mph on the highway) but all this cleared up on late Friday night with cool weather and sunshine on Saturday and Sunday.
The new suspension is working great, the V6 is running very strong now, and yes...I put the Sneeky Pete back on (25HP shot for cooling mainly). I still had to re-learn the launching of the truck (as well as shifting from 3rd-4th gear with the Hurst Shifter) but was able to put her into the low 15's with only minor tire slippage and some tuning...and she's got plenty more to go. ;)
Fastest Time: 15.246 @ 86.31mph (with a bit of tire slippage out of the hole)
Fastest Speed: 15.910 @ 91.70mph (totally bogged it out of the hole and forgot to hit turn on the juice at the light)
Average Run: 15.3 @ 90mph
Worst Run: 18.546 @ 47.54mph (Missed 4th gear and blew the tube from the blower to the airhat right off...hehehehe...no harm done though.)
Again, there's still a lot of tuning and about three to four tenths more out of her...another two or three weeks to get all the bugs out and she will be in the high 14's (14.7-14.8 is what i'm aiming for.)

Congrats on those times, your my inspiration. I also made it to the track recently and ran a 16.5 corrected time. Low 16s are possible if I can get me 60' into the 2.2s. I cannot break out of the 2.4s. What were your average 60's?
I'm also interested in the Nitrous Express system and was wondering the price? I only plan to run a 50 shot until I do some internal work next year.

Ease up on old Burned will ya! Its not like he was Enron or something. Likely all he got out of ya all was a new truck or two and maybe a large addition on his house or a vacation home. Big f*cking deal.
