RACE!

[Diesel_brad]

Will get a video next time,
My truck- 86 f-250 4x4, 6.9NA, t-19,3.55 gears, real high timing, almost maxxed out ip, ram-aiir intake, 3inch flowmaster exhuast, right now it has a 3700 rpm spring but i can feel it cutt power at 3500,( i cant wait till my warranty runs out so i can pass 4000 rpm again,

His truck- 86 f-250 4x4 6.9NA, t-19,3.55 gears, 9.5DegreesBTDC timing, pump turned up about 2 flats, factory air intake and dual 2.5 inch straight pipes, has a BB code injectors rebuilt IP with about 20,000 miles on it and set to 3300,



The race was from a dead start, we started at the same time, and it was a little over a 1/8th mile, but it wasnt a 1/4 mile race, My top speed in the run was somwere around 80 i guess, my tach was about to pass 3000 rpm in 4th, and he was over a trucks distance behind me, i let him pass me once after i had let off and then i floared it in 4th again and passed him like it was nothing

I call your bluff. There is no way you were doing close to 80mph in the 1/8 mile. Not even close. I would be willing to put money on your truck not doing 80 in the 1/4 mile

Look here man, I dont go around lying about **** to get a kick out of it cause im not that way, when i let off it was at or a little over 3000 rpm do the math find out how fast that is, it was over an 1/8 but im pretty sure it wasnt over a 1/4 cause i can judge that distance i have been down the drag strip one too many times, and if you dont beilive what i got to say drive out here and i will take you for a ride

I've been drag racing with a half ton nissan, a shade under 300 hp at the wheels after current modifications, and I go through the traps at 86-88 mph pretty damn regular.

I'm not calling you a liar, I'm just saying either that 6.9 of yours is a phenomenon (300+ HP n/a!) or you may have mis-judged distance, which is real easy to do, I've done it more times than I can count.

Or the speedo is off, or the tach is off, or the tranny is slipping, could be anything.

 

[cetanefreek]

good points, I forgot those.

 

[Diesel_brad]

Just go to a race track before you start posting numbers. I would say your N/A truck is closer to 11.5-12 sec 1/8 mile and a 17.8-18.2 1/4 mile.

That is a far cry from from what you are posting

dyoung, what's your 0-60 time?

 

[GOOSE]

Hey, thumbs up for having a good time with little or no money, and winning. 1/8, 2/8, or 3/8 of a mile, sounds like a blast. Your natural sounds like its quick, a real 1/4 mile time would be a good benchmark for all of us to compare to, might even surprise some of us turbo guys. Video from inside the truck, outside at the start, and a high speed drive by would rock. Maybe next time you can measure out a distance even if its by the tenths on your odometer. Wish I was out having simple fun like that more often.

dyoung, what's your 0-60 time?

13 seconds as of today on my way home, but thats without side stepping it, im going to try some side stepping and see if i can get it faster

thanks, i will try to get some videos this week, but dont hold me too it

It's hard to scale distance on a road when your pumped up racing your buddy. I assure you it was deffinately over 1/8 of a mile and quite possibly over a 1/4.
If your numbers are correct though, congrats on your 13 sec ride.

Not too shabby for a NA diesel. I think my 7.3 was 15.5, I need to make a video, that was last winter.

What gear ratio you got?

 

[DeepRoots]

if I recall your video, your speedo doesn't work.... that makes this part of the discussion worthless.

drag racing a 7.3idi? hehehe
"I think I beat him, course I fell asleep twice before we hit the 1/4mile mark."

There is a 7.3 N/A that runs a 12.6 in the QUARTER mile on here

 

[starmilt]

12.6 quarter mile times who, what, and where is this beast.
