So being both cars are down decided to take my trucj to track last night.. 2006 F250 6.0L Diesel.. Only modifications are 4" MBRP Turbo back exhaust and SCT Tuner with Innovative Diesel Race Tune..

Best pass was 14.1 @ 93 with a 1.87 60ft.. Leaving at 1800 rpm in 4WD, anything above that yielded wheel spin and Hop of course of all 4.. I think airing down the tires from 75 psi to probably 45-50 would have given better launch and maybe a 14.0/13.99.

Pretty impressed with a stock 7500lb pick up I think.. And knocks down 20 on Highway.

Anyone who knows diesels - knows that the 6.0s are known for EGR issues and Head bolt stretching... Mine is not studded yet and EGR not yet deleted so it was risky to puch on that hard, but..

 

LOL thats about as quick as my 89 L98 was near stock! I really want to get out to the track but my thursdays have been taken up with other things

 

I got 6 passes! the air seemed great, thought I did not check DA or vapor content.. But in typical PRP fashion, every 3rd car was spinning badly.. Truck has a low 1.8 60ft and a high 13 I think, I may even pull a 1.7 - plenty of power to do it..

I think I am going tomorrow to watch the show... You?

 

I got a company golf outting most of the day tomorrow unfortunately and if I didnt, I'd be working on the camaro trying to get that beast done already. Getting close

 

if that were my truck, it would be broke right now and i would have 3 vehicles down. lol

 

I hear you, its really hard not to beat this thing all the time - Or put a little more in and go 13s, or spray a 100 shot and go deep 13s.. Not sure it ever ends..

i think back to when my Camaro was my race/street car and I just wanted my TA to be a mid 13 second car to play with.. Now over 4 seconds later..

 

nice. i have yet to take my silverado down the track...2000 silverado with a 5.3 won't run anything spectacular though. bottom 15's or better probably. i am considering a remote turbo setup though cause i don't like that it downshifts to second trying to pull hills on the way to the track with the car on the trailer, only trying to maintain 60mph. i love the truck though which is why i think i'll mod it instead of selling and getting a diesel.

 

LOL, yea I did the same with my cummins a couple of weeks ago... 36" tires, quadzilla and some fuel system upgrades, nothing else and ran a 15.1@88mph... I still had some power in the quadzilla tune, but I was sideways at the 60' lights and the trany was acting funny so I didn't push it. Not bad for a 4ton, 21' long truck


I had a ton of fun being "the nut in the big blue truck that stayed in it..."

 

My tow vehicle is faster (see sig). Faster than my Camaro though.
