Dragstrip Tonight

rholland · 03-04-2005, 06:45 AM

I going to try and go to the strip tonight and run my bike and Titan. My buddy here ran 14.49 with his Dodge standard cab Hemi last Sat. He took the tires and rims from his wife's Durango, and used them on his truck. His only mod is a homemade air intake. He used 4" PVC and a cone filter, that should make Volant and K&N cringe. They do not have a mass air sensor. His truck is limited to 104 mph, so with the smaller tires, that is around 92 mph. I will see what I can do aganist him.

he should realy get that PVC out of his engine bay

Yeah, really. Isn't that a fire hazard...Oh well

You're racing him with the bike, right....

Either way, good luck and do Titan owner's everywhere PROUD!!!

Timba24 · 03-04-2005, 10:36 AM

well PVC doesnt have a high heat tolerance and when heated too much releases toxic fumes that can really mess up an engine

If I beat him with the bike, he may want to race me with his Dodge Duster, 9 second car, I don't think I can either way.

Got any work on your truck? Chances are he's going to get you. Post some slips, though!

buzzkillwill · 03-04-2005, 02:44 PM

How about a foot race...???

Just kidding...Good luck and let us know how it went!

I have the Volant air box and Flowmaster 40 dual exhaust . I still have the resonators, for now.

Back from the dragstrip before 9:30 we made 3 passes. I went with a full tank of gas, 87 oct, He was setting on empty with 93 oct. I will post the slips on Monday, from work.
----1st pass---------------2nd pass---------------3rd pass
R/T--.805-------------------1.182------------------.643
60'---2.295------------------2.316-----------------2.316
1/8---9.903-----------------9.904------------------9.915
mph--71.85------------------72.36-----------------71.67
1/4---15.368----------------15.357-----------------15.393
MPH
He ran 14.71, 14.71 and 14.78, at 90.50. He was beating me out of the hole bad, because of the small rims and tires from his wife's Durango
if I run the Titan, I will run a couple of tanks of premiun first and go with the tank on empty.

Not bad Sir.

Is your Titan 2wd or 4? Any traction problems?

I'm afraid of traction issues when I go and may against better judgment have to lock em in or do you think the rubber built up on the track should hold me pretty good...

I've never been so it's going to be a new experience for me and I'll be glad to put my skepticism about the G to rest hopefully with the times I'm getting with it.

rholland · 03-04-2005, 08:54 PM

I had no traction problems, and I have the 2wd XE, so only one wheel is really pulling. I'm not use to holding the brake with my left foot, so that was real awkward feeling.
The 1/8 mile on the 3rd pass is wrong, should be 9.915

rholland · 03-05-2005, 09:05 AM

I finally was able to upload the time slips from my home.

I didn't realize that the Hemi motor was even available in regular cab form. Except for the Rumble Bee of course. I should get out more, huh?
