That is so F-in sweet. Will a DC come pretty close to those times?
The DC with the extra couple hundred pounds should be close. I've seen times as low as 14.6 posted out of a DC 4x4. If i remember correctly he had a lot of wheel spin out of the hole so he could do better.

It's all good, I'll make sure to send you an invite next time! I have a JBA exhaust on order too, debating on canceling and getting my money back. That could be supercharger money!!
BTW, I just found out that the corrected time for my 14.18 run comes out to 13.83 @ 99.67mph!!

Time for you to head to Houston...

Wow, great times. I thought the rc's would be close to that, but you cant beat seeing it.
Some dr's, couple small mods like your planning (catback/cai) and practice and youll be in the 13.7 range easy. Some weight reduction and youll see mid 13s.
Also, all my GM friends will officially hate you and your truck soon as Ill post that link up on ALL the GM forums whove been sayin "They arent THAT fast!"

Show them GM boys what it's all about! My GM friend was talking bs too, after I ran my time he shut his damn mouth lmao
Hey chick, I don't know if I can handle that houstan traffic to even run one of them titan dudes. Can they come over here? lol

With a blower or any type of forced induction for that matter it is very important that you have a free flowing exhaust. The JBA will help out alot with a blower on there. Someone needs to release some catless mid pipes for our truck or at least some mid pipes with 1 hi flow cat on each sides. Im sure those 4 stock cats are holding our trucks back quite a bit.
Drag radials are ideal for this. If you have any sort of traction problem in most cases they will cure it completely. On the street they handle just like normal street tires. The main problem with them is they wear out quickly. I could typically only get a season and a half from BFGs. They are made by Nitto, BFG, Mickey Thompson, and others.
Do drag radials have the same feeling that drag slicks have? Meaning do they have a soft sidewall that makes the end of the 1/4 mile feel like you are a bit out of control. If you haven't driven a car with drag slicks (my bro's 442) its kinda scary, great get up and go (no slippage) but at the end when are going near 100 mph the soft sidewalls make for an interesting ride, that being said I would imagine that this crazy sensation would be amplified in a truck that is as high as ours is in the back.

I know that sensation well from 13" M/T slicks on an old V8 H-body. Feels like someone suddenly hits the car on the rear quarter panel. The whole rear end jumps sideways.
No, the Drag Radials have full sidewalls and drive just like a normal street tire. They are basically a performance street tire with a full slick compound on the tread. The only thing that gets you is wear. If you drive them daily, they are on cords after only a season or so.
Another thing to watch for with Drag Radials is the break in period (the BFG brand anyway). When you first get them, they will not have any better traction than a normal street radial. You will be very disappointed at first, but after a few weeks of daily commute, they soften up and stick like glue. They are about half way in between a full on slick and a good street tire for dragstrip traction, which is more than enough for most people at the track.
Another thing to watch is thermal cycling. This is not an issue for most people, but don't drive them in the snow or in cold weather, then try to use them for racing. The sudden temperature change will screw up the rubber and make them spin like a cheap street radial on wet pavement.

Yes, I was planning to go out to the local dragstrip in this area, only
to find out:
a) It's a club race night, no street entries allowed.
b) I will not be able to put down any numbers until
their next sportsman truck night which is 2nd week
of September.
c) It's looking like its going to be rained out anyways.
d) I was pi$$ed.............
Looks like I will buying a G-tech in the meantime and finding
a one mile road to test

the stickier rubber will help a tad but I dont think i will make a huge difference with the stock stall in the truck. With a higher stall and some meaty tires in the back the truck would improve dramatically off the line.
Good to know, thanks Mike N. I wonder though if stickier rubber will cause some drivetrain issues (breakage due to better traction)?
Not likely. That is the reason these trucks are great for drag racing. The drive train is overbuilt. It is rated to tow almost 11000 lbs up and down hills, stop and go, all day long. You are only doing 14 second pulls, then half hour cool downs, unloaded, nothing towed behind. If the machine can't handle its own power under these conditions, might as well trade it on a Duramax.

I think you are right. It all depends on how much trouble he is having hooking off the line. If it just hazes the tires for ten feet or so, no need for anything better. If he totally goes up in smoke and has to feather the gas for the first five seconds, he definitely needs them.

I really didn't have any traction issues on my first run. I don't think the wheels spun at all coming out of the hole. Now my second 2 runs I spun for maybe a second, could of just been that lane though. For now at least I don't really need any sticky tires.

You did a good job. I would like to think I am somewhere in the
ballpark. I just think you (and all or some) of the RCSB's can be
in the 13's with said mods.
