Hello Tierod. Did you build an 8.1 w/Raylar heads & intake?

That was a work truck. :D

Okay, I'll Bite.....

I was driving to the gas station when I see an older Camaro with big Tubbed tires about a 1/4 mile up ahead (on a 45 mph 4 lane road) so I speed up to about 50-55mph to catch him cause I wanna see it. as soon as I got next to him he nails it (it's another 1/2 mile to the gas station) Well I nail it too :)! He was gettin It pretty good but I was slowly putting car lengths on him, went up to 120ish mph and then had to quickly slow down to pull into the gas station, well he pulls in also and Goes all the way around and parks on the side where I can't see him, But I hear the other people at the pumps commenting on how "Bad" His car is. I'm thinkin to myself "Ha" He just had his azz handed to him by a 6,000+lb truck :).....well then I hear him fire it up again (it did sound Really Nasty) and he drives by really slowww where I'm pumping gas, so I gesture with my hand "Wait a moment" (and I'll hand you your azz again) but he Idles out of the parking lot and gets on it real good when he gets on the highway....He didn't wait for me :(

That sounds like a cool truck. I got to look up "Radix Supercharger." You ever run it in the 1/8th or 1/4?

Nope, I never ran it at the track. The Radix is just another name for the Magnuson supercharger. It makes a So/So truck into an Absolute Ball to drive :). There's another Road Kill story I have where a guy in a Porshe thought he was just gonna blow by and pull away, well I stuck to his bumper up to 141mph (had to delete that max speed from the wifes GPS) for 100 miles coming up I-81 every time the traffic opened up me & Him went at it. I won't say I Beat the Porshe, but I can't say he beat me either. I have done 0-60 mph in 4.5 many times (thats me holding a stopwatch, stomping the gas, trying to regulate wheel spin & steer while watching the speedo and remembering to click the stopwatch-Probably not that accurate-but not far off:) )

I got the Car Performance app for my Droid X and did a test run with my 4.3 V6.

60' 4.48@31.07
330' 8.523@51.44
1/8 mile 12.512@65.13
1/4 mile 18.571@80.78
0-20 3.498 seconds
0-40 6.486 seconds
0-60 11.541 seconds
0-80 18.571 seconds

This was my first run and I rolled into it a little, so I think I could get better times.
This was with the a/c off and Tow/Haul mode on. I only went 86 mph. I know for a fact that this truck hits 103 before the limiter kicks in, as I have 265/75/16s on it and verified with my GPS.

Its not fast, but I thought I'd like to get an idea of what it runs.
