Dragy Times Thread!

[tbolts10]

I got some initial dragy runs in today since i'll be installing new wheels and tires as well as a JB4 today. She did a 13.15 @ 101.86. Bone stock, 93 octane and a pretty bad launch.

This tells me these trucks will easily run high 12's stock with a good launch.

As for me, I plan on trying to get this thing into the 11's.

Let's use this thread to post times! Would love to see what everyone is running when mods start hitting.

Nice! Decent 60' too.

Definitely has more in it if you can get that down a tenth or so. MPH looks really good

how are you launching?

Brake boosted to just under 3k rpm's.

What wheels are tires are you throwing on?

I went with Vorsteiners and Falken AT4w's in 35x12.5

 

[truckguy]

Those AT4w’s weigh around 73lbs don’t they? That will likely slow you a bit compared to factory tires that are lighter.

Wouldn’t have thought that the stock GoodYear’s were actually “light” considering what they’re asked to do by the manufacturer. Good to know!

I guess they are t really “light” but I think they weigh 62lbs. An extra 44 lbs on the tires will cause a small decrease in times vs stock. However in anything other than dry conditions the falken will be far superior

Yes this was my only concern with them. The wheels are forged lightweight so that will help, but I do expect it will slow it down a bit. I'll find out how much shortly.

 

[tbolts10]

What’s the total weight of the new set up? The oem headlock set up is like 104-105 pounds so shouldn’t be too far off

I meant to weight them and then forgot. The wheels are listed at 29.4 lbs.

Weight on the outside - tires - will hurt more than saving the same amount on the inside.

Just installed the JB4. This was my first and only run. Map 2, AC on, my fat ass and heavy 35" Falken AT4's.

My next run will be map 3 with E30 fuel.

I genuinely think that map 3 with E30 and the stock wheels/tires back on will yield 11.9X

@tbolts10 How is the tune holding up? Any updated times just for fun?

It's been great so far but I drive the truck maybe twice a week lol

I really want to get an updated run with more octane but it's hard finding a stretch of road long enough for this fat girl to slow down

I will have to say, I saw the posts about the brakes being not so great on these trucks. Wow - they weren't lying. My brakes are downright pathetic and borderline dangerous. My only other gripe is that the rearview camera is useless unless it nearly daylight outside. Mine is milky/yellow looking in low light sitatuions and far worse than the regular mirror at night.

Ha - was just reading about a set like this on the TRX forum. Is this the set that is like $550 for rotors and pads? Keep us poted!

They're EBC rotors with Hawk Pads - I think it was around 500 bucks for the kit!

If you think the RHO is bad the ram limited is rated an even worse stopping distance of 133 ft from 60mph vs 126 ft for RHO
