That's a Procharger for you; more power with more RPM. But, the 6-rib pulley is holding it back now - got some serious belt slip at the top of third. Turbos don't slip... hmm.

Post by: Scoobum on September 25 2016, 07:05:52 AM: 11 second 10,000 lb grocery getter. Now get yer' ass back to the garage and finish the wagon...

Post by: motorhead on September 25 2016, 08:48:40 AM: Exactly right, Brad. This was only about validating the potential of the truck. That and I promised myself that it needed to perform at least as well as my Buick did (helps justify the sale), and it has. So, now I am done racing it - I hope.

Post by: motorhead on September 25 2016, 08:58:00 AM: Oh, I forgot to mention that this pass was made with the converter locked at 94mph - same switch point as the factory tune.

Post by: Shimy87 on September 25 2016, 12:30:29 PM: Done racing it....only when you sell it :rofl: :rock:
Title: Re: Good Air.
Post by: motorhead on September 25 2016, 03:25:31 PM: Thanks, gents! I may put it up for sale after the wagon is done, if it feels redundant to own it.

Post by: Scoobum on September 25 2016, 03:40:53 PM: I got rid of the Camaros...cuz it was flat out non stop maintenance... and I couldn't drive everything at once. Most fun I was having was with racing the Buick and hanging out with friends at the track. I don't regret selling them.

Mike...you'll likely get to the point I did...and decide on one.

Post by: motorhead on September 26 2016, 08:39:37 AM: Same reason my Buick and Natasha's Camaro went bye-bye this year. Probably going to roll the "new" Monte into the garage this Winter to start tooling around with it.
