: Is this good?

I took the beast out today and according to my GPS my 1/4 mile was 91.1mph. That is with the juice on 120. I think it is good, but am not too sure.

On edit I have 700# of sand in the bed and full tank of fuel and the transfer tank has @ 60 gallons.

I don't know if that is good or not, but to compare times, I ran the 1/4 a couple times and my best et was 15.2/92MPH and 15.6/97MPH. I ran the first one in edge level 3, low boost 5 and the latter was run in level 5/low boost 5. Mine is a reg cab/8 ft bed and I cannot get any grip whatsoever!! I didn't have anything in the bed and when I nailed it on the start my back end was roasting em and all over the damn road. It seems that my lower power settings will give me better "sticky" acceleration, because level 5 just rips the back end all over the place. I was spinning tires up into 4 gear on level 5, it was rediculous.

What was your et? It really all depends on your start, not your speed, as you can tell by my two runs... my lower et had a lower speed, but I had a better start.

On edit: Neither start was very good, way too much tire spin!! I felt like I didn't go anywhere for a couple seconds, then all of a sudden it took off. I contemplated a 4 wheel drive run, but I am chicken and didn't want to blow up my 4x4.
