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.

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.rholland said:
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.

Good God, that's all I ever run at the dragstrip. Depending on how gung-ho the owner is, the hemi std cabs are between 200 and 700 pounds lighter. I know that will cause a lot of people to say HUH!?!?, but it all depends on what has been removed from the trucks. I think the year of the Dodge is also a factor. but after some people remove bumpers, full exahusts, and a bunch of other things it does indeed add up a lot. And they're about 200 pounds lighter than my crew cab with my tailgate and spare removed just for starters.VShortt said:

I didn't remove anything because I didn't got home until around 7 pm, I just changed clothes and went to the strip. The next time I go, I will be setting on empty with premiun gas. The air was not good last night either, he ran 14.49 at 92 mph last Saturday, better air. We shouldn't even be racing our trucks, his car runs 9.80s and my bike runs about the same, that's the race we should be running.
