I had my 98 R/T CC out at US Route 66 Dragway in Joliet IL tonight. What a
good night to race. The temps were in the 60's with very little humidity.
BTW, I installed the Vortech on my R/T the last week and have been
wondering how this truck will run. I ran the truck four times. The track
was really crowded tonight. Here's my best run of the night.
The car I was up against was an early 90's Rustang 5.0, 5 speed, cam just
installed, and slicks.
R/T Rustang
R/T .815 1.380 (he must have been tired
because he was sleeping)
60' 2.213 2.039
1/8 9.692 9.285
1/4 14.945 14.572
MPH 94.01 93.56
I won by .192 seconds. It was a great race.
I manually shifted the RT at 5300 rpm. I hit the rev limiter on this run
between the 1st and 2nd shift. I may have even run a litle quicker.
Overall I am pretty happy about the run. I think once I get the
supercharger dialed in it will go faster. I don't go to the track much but
I might start soon. I also weigheds the truck with me in it and it weighed
exacly 4300 pounds. Subtract my 230 and the truck weighs in at 4070 with a
quarter tank of gas.
