Gonna be taking the '98 to the 1320 for the first time since the PowerDyne and all the other mod's went on.

I finally fixed my hood latch so we're gonna stick the truck on the roller's and tune it on the 12lb pulley with the new torque converter.

Anyone wanna' throw down or just come and watch? I gotta couple race's setup with a few Terminator's and SS Camaro's. Plus, we just got the G8 dialed down with the tuner (big thank's to BBR) so she's gonna run that a few time's against the black beast.


Really hoping my Hoosier's come in this week so I can stick the drag radial's on her car. As long as they do, we'll be at Runday Sunday. Bradenton Motorsport's Park on hwy 64.

Anyone?

It would be nice to dip into the mid 12's. I finally got a bigger pill for the snow kit so now my CC temp's are down to 565 ATF. Im hoping to reach the flat 13 area but ultimetley i'm aiming for the mid>high 12's.

What are you using for juice with the Alcohol injector? Which kit are you using?

I talked to a few local shop's like Ramsey's, All American, FORD Speed, just badass speed shop's and they all said you can mix the meth with water yourself, but I picked up a gallon of "boost juice" from Parley's Diesel Performance.

This stuff, Greg...

I'm actually running a diesel kit from a Duramax. It's a stage 3 Snow kit.

Jeff, from what I have read, yes you cam mix your own. Man I thought a gallon of boost juice was something like $14, not $40. Also I read that -20 degree winter windshield cleaner can also be used. This is my next mod. I haven't decided to buy a kit or use the bits and pieces i already have.

I have mine on my old nitrous window switch. I thought about using my washer resovoir and shit but I would rather have the 7 gallon resovoir to keep me safe. NO DETONATION FTW!

I have the Granatelli window switch that has a TPS activation plus rpm window I can use to drive the mess. A 3 gallon aluminum tank tha looks bitchen. But would rather drive the pump off of a vacum switch/rpm. I need a pump and injector head. How would it work if I used a thottle body spaceer for a two stage nitrous and used one input for the meth? This is going to be fun.

Your truck would probably start staying up for days at a time and catch meth mouth. :Wedgie:

Greg, you're a knoledgable guy as far as performance odd's go, why have two unit's ona a vehicle that do the exact same thing? Cool the engine to add performance...

Dry nitrous- cool's the temp charge threw the air.
Wet nitrous- cool's the temp charge and mixes with the fuel to cool that as well.


Even though the meth don't add the hp nitrous does, it has the same effect. Run a 125 wet shot on that HEMI threw the window switch. You'll be happy and have less headache. Just my .2

Jeff, The cheaper dry system just adds nitrous to whatever your Air/fuel ratio is normally. This stands to lean out the engine and cause damage unless used only at low levels. I do not recommend this system.
Wet system adds additional fuel along with the nitrious to make more power and still maintain a safe A/F ratio. Anyway thats the short version. If you are thinking of nitrous, my opinion is to go with the wet system.


Water/methanol injection is sustainable for a daily driver and raises the gasoline octane level and cools the intake charge. The advantages are more aggressive timing and the ability to use pump gas vice racing fuel. Running both is a bit of tongue in cheek. Probably not practical but could be done. After looking at the Harris TB injector plate it got my imagination going.
Good luck.

Yes sir I did. Truck ran great to. Had a bit of an issue with my FMIC piping and coupler's but at the end of the day it was way worth it. My tran's is doing pretty good but i'm thinking it's time for 6 speed. Those hard launches' on the 46RE are pretty brutal.


Best of the day was a 12.7 @ like 113. I have the timeslip at home. The Hoosier's fucking rock! The G8 pulled a 12.5 @ like 117 on the radial's. Wouldn't really hook up. The truck has a fuck ton left in it. It was 97* out there. Even with the meth my ATF was in the 800*s. Tran's temp stayed pretty low though which was a huge surprise. I think it's needing a bigger fuel pump to go along with the supporting mod's. It loved the c16 additive though, just seem's like it's lagging on the FP side even though it's reading in at 39psi WOT. Think ima' upgrade to a 255lph Mopar pump or some shit.

Big time. The ticket guy was talking to a Cobra when I pulled around and he stopped in mid sentence and was like "that fuckin RAM is fast dude!!!!!" I was proud of it. I think i'm gonna do some upgrading with the fuel system to keep it in line. She ran it once leaving it in OD and launching off idle and it went 13.6 @ 103 I think it was. We never turned the a/c off either. Lol

Taking the truck to the track again this weekend. Just installed my 255LPH T-REX pump and new fuel line. Which made a huge difference. Now i'm 100% I was down on the fuel side. So 12.5s here I come!

Thank's man. A few other boosted RAM's are coming along, one's that are faster than mine on the street from 40-60 roll's, so we'll see how they do from dig's on the tree when i'm on slick's.

60's were shitty. da was solid. temp was great. tires werent sticking but the truck was flying and it wasnt even on radials. had the '86 out there aswell. made a single pass before it started its stupid fuckin stumble that its been doing. pulled a new PB on my reaction time aswell. .66 rocked.
