Sure was fun, though. :thumbs:

Ok, so the runs are in order from left to right. Yes, my reaction times are horrendous, but all I was trying to do was get some times down, and not red-light.

Run One: One-footed this one, just let off the brake and mashed the gas, nothing special.

17.892 sec. @ 79.01 mph
Reaction time: .881 sec.


Run Two: Tried launching the truck this time. Everything was happening so fast, since I was nervous as hell and didn't really know what was going on, so I'm not sure where I launched from, but I'm guessing about 1500 RPM. Well, launching a truck with no weight in the back, mud tires, in 2wd isn't exactly a recipe for traction. It just spun. Like crazy. Being a little nervous, I didn't have the presence of mind to let off, and ease back into it, so I just kept it at WOT, sat there pretty much not moving, and probably bounced off of the rev-limiter a few times. :lol: Eventually it hooked, but about halfway down the track, the SES light came on. Probably a result of the rev-limiter bounces.

Ended up being my slowest run, with the highest MPH.

18.153 sec. @ 79.17 mph
Reaction time: .901 sec.


Run Three: Launched in 4wd this time. Built the revs up to about 1500 again (and again, that's just a guestimate). I was paying a little bit of attention to reaction time this time, but not concentrating on it. Launched in 4hi, and kicked it back into 2hi after it shifted into second (probably could've gone sooner, but oh well). Ended up being my quickest run, with the slowest MPH. The SES light was still on, so who knows if that hurt me at all.

17.873 sec. @ 78.60 mph
Reaction time: .473 sec.


I want to go back. Now.

We'll see how much the tune helps. :danana:

EDIT: Oh, and it was 91 degrees for the first two passes, and 90 for the third, so that hurt me a little bit as well. I kinda wish I would've saved one run for later in the night when it was a lot cooler. Oh well, next week. :jester:

You betcha
Nothing to be ashamed of. That is right where that truck should be with age/miles/mud tires. 4.8L right? If you had a tune it would knock at least a second off of those times.

:lol: You will get 'er, man. Nothing wrong with what you got with the tires and the age of your drivetrain :thumbs:

Yeah I'm not too disappointed. I was hoping for something in the high 16s, but it's a heavy freaking truck, with a motor with no low end (and over 183k). And the truck was exactly as it is driven every day. Hundred or so pounds of shit under the rear seat, spare tire, hitch, all my camera gear was in the truck, and some other miscellaneous shit. And some heavy freaking mud tires. :lol:

I just want to go back again, so I can enjoy it. I was so freaking nervous, and everything just happened so damn fast. I think I almost pushed my gas pedal through the floor, too. :rollin: Now I know what to expect though, and probably won't freak out. :D

I suddenly feel better about my 60's :lol:

Getting tuned is like night and day :thumbs: The density altitude wasn't too great around your track (2100' @ 6PM, probably 3000'+ on the track since the track temp was over 90*), with good air you could hit some mid/low 17's..PLUS your track is hardly above sea level :crybaby: :D

Yeah I can't wait to go back next week. I won't rush my three runs all early in the night, I'll try to wait for it to cool down.

Oh, and I want LQ4 right meow. :lolup:

Yeah, I was the same way my first time. It gets easier...then it gets addicting...then it gets expensive :lol:
