Dan,
Sounds like you had fuuuun. It can be addicting! What boost are you
running on the Vortech? 5 lbs? Intercooled or fresh air induction?
Was there any hook up problems off the line?

Subject: DML: 1/4 mile times on the R/T

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.
