Finally got those tires! Got into the 12s. Now to work on that reaction time.

Your mph took a fairly big hit after the 1/8th,are you running a drag radial or a bias ply slick? Usually a bias ply will kill your top end mph over a drag radialView attachment 508724

What pressure are you running in them.I run right around 20/21 psi in the Mickey's on both my truck which runs DA corrected 11.70's and the wifes 1320 ,which runs DA corrected 10.80'sNitto 555s
I can't remember now, but I'm going back out to the track in a couple weeks. Itd a no prep 1/8 mile event, but I'll that out.What pressure are you running in them.I run right around 20/21 psi in the Mickey's on both my truck which runs DA corrected 11.70's and the wifes 1320 ,which runs DA corrected 10.80's
I'd start with about 25 psi,if you have traction issues,go down a couple psi till you hook.The higher the pressure you can get away with,while still hooking the better your mph will be,plus the truck won't feel quite as squirrily going through the lightsI can't remember now, but I'm going back out to the track in a couple weeks. Itd a no prep 1/8 mile event, but I'll that out.
Those numbers should put you into the mid to high 14's,the mph is a bit slow,but you're 1/8th mile ET numbers aren't to bad.What was the DA likeOK, I'll play. Mods in sig, I dropped the rear air pressure to 28#, maybe should have gone more. Truck has 22" wheels, not sure how low I can go with those.

I'm not a huge fan of this DA calculator,but punch in your track,and it should come up,then go back to the day and time of your pass to get the DA.This one is always several hundred feet high compared to an actual weather station,but it'll at least give you an idea of the da on your passes.Not sure about DA, temp was around 72, we are fairly humid in this area. 16510 zip code if anyone knows how to look it up.
I don't think you did it right,lol.It should give you a DA number that's in feet above sealevel,sealevel is considered 0 ft DA. Some tracks will actually register a DA number that's below sea level with the right weather conditions,those are the tracks you want to run on,as they'll give your best timeslip numbers,then there's tracks like my local track that'll be 5,000+ ft DA in the summer,and they suck for getting a decent number.A mile in the air really hurts a time slip, especially a naturally aspirated vehicles time slipIf I did it right, 91%
That's actually pretty decent as far as DA goes.The DragTimes calculator is usually on the high side ,but you'd probably still be right around 600ft. Anything under a 1,000ft is good in my opinion,but i also run at the local tracks where it's not uncommon for our DA to be 5,000ft in the summerOK. I was surprised that my little local track (Lucky Drag City, Wattsburg, Pa.) was in their database, but it's at 684'.
If it's still the factory rear diff,and a legit R/T, you'll have a limited slip with 4.10 gears and a higher stall convertor then a standard 2011 truck.Thanks, good to know. Let me ask you this;
If I put a pair of drag tires on it do you think it will hook better and not spin one wheel? LSD, not sure about ratio.
I know about unhooking left front stabilizer, and maybe weighting rear corner, anything else?
I have an IHC drop kit, anything special I can do with the rear springs when I cut them? They say cut the left a little longer to compensate for driver and fuel tank weight.
Say what lolthe trucks are designed to sit level when going down a crowned road,
The crown in the road surface should be at or near 4%, or ½ in per ft drop on the cross slope each way from centerline. (See example above) In addition, the shape of crown should be a straight line from the centerline to the edge of roadway, not “rounded” or parabolic .Say what lol
