Sam-
You forgot to mention the most important thing about your truck blazing the
1/4 in 14.65-
I got to rag on my buddy all weekend that his $43K BMW M Coupe (14.77@94)
got smoked by a Dodge Dakota!
Great going! Looking forward to next time.

Subject: DML: RE: New best 1/4 mile!
| Terry, I ran this weekend for the first time with the 1.7s...
|
| First pass 15.165 (previous best was 15.010)
| Not so good.. but then I read my mph--- 93 mph)
| I did spin quite a bit off the line (I removed
| my bumper for a roll pan, so weight is a little
| different). My previous best mph was 90.95 mph.
| And my run was with a 2.4 something 60' (oops!)
|
| Let air out until 18 psi...
| 2.146 60'.... 14.656 seconds, 93.23 mph...
| WOOHOO! A new best... Figure the 1.7s dropped
| my ET by .350 seconds or so...and increase mph
| by 2.5 mph on average.
