That would be 2 years ago now at Sunday Niagara at Dunn Tire Raceway Park in Lancaster, NY. 1/8th mile strip. I dont remember many of my times off the top of my head, but that summer it was running high 10's with a carbed 302 in it, but then I put an EFI truck 351w in it, and it was consistantly running near 11.35 at ~60. Torquey engine and likes to spin the right rear, but loses all power above 4k. Looking for a cam or intake of some sort in the near future before I get a tuner for the ECU.

but it's currently slightly on hold due to college tuition and smaller racecars that I got sucked into.

I'm looking at taking it to Milan a few times this summer to see what it does on the 1/4.

I haven't run at Lancaster in about 10 years so I didn't recognize it. Couldn't see the thruway in the background either.

Last I was there I was going 6.50's @ 105mph. I was surprised at the shutdown area going down to one lane, and having to run through what seemed like the woods to get your timeslip. But I guess that's how they do it when you have a dizzy track and a drag strip all at one place.

If you're closer to home Empire Dragway in Leicester is 1/4 mile, and even runs a truck class on Wednesday nights.

I also think I'd try to tune what you have before swapping cams and the like. There's no way a 351 should be sticking it's tongue out at 4000 rpm. That thing should pull to at least 5000.
 
Any particular meaning behind GP-H8-147?

Apparently the weather will be gorgeous this week, so my daily will be my 2007 Harley Sportster 883 Custom.

GP = general purpose (what Jeep owes its name to)
H8 = nothing special just from "space dementia by muse. i realized later that some people are reading it "hate". don't know how i feel about that.
147 = last 3 digits on the barcode from protagonist of the hitman movie/games

that's a nice Harley you've got there. i actually recently rekindled my Harley love and now have major GAS for a Shovelhead.

'98 Ranger with the winter tires/rims on and a dusting of snow on the ground. This picture is a couple of years old. I have done some body work to try to slow down the rust. I love this truck, but Ford no longer wants to sell me one :scowl:
