Well I finally made it to the track. I only got two passes before it started raining again...

 

Little back story first...…. 

 

Truck stock ran 15.21 @ 89.86(1/4) 9.70 @ 70.46(1/8) with a 2.13 60ft. with 93 4wd launch stalled up to 2500rpm and switched to 2wd after that launch.

 

Best 93 time with a tune, K&N drop in filter, Airaid MIT, and custom cat-back was 14.40 @ 94.78(1/4) 9.22 @ 75.31(1/8) with a 2.07 60ft. same type of run stalled up 2500rpm, 4wd launch, and switched out to 2wd after the launch with 6100rpm shift points.

 

Now to todays runs. First pass I screwed up and over powered the brakes and broke the beams but it gave me an idea what my mph would be 82.06mph in the 1/8 and 103.12mph in the 1/4 with launching it in 4wd stalled to 3200 rpm with it flashing to 3800 rpm and leaving it in 4wd the whole pass spun all 4 tires on the launch.

 

Second pass and last pass due to weather was 13.22 @ 102.44(1/4) 8.42 @ 81.37(1/8) with a 1.87 60ft. That was launching it in 4wd stalled to 2500rpm flashing to 3800rpm and leaving it in 4wd for the whole pass 6200 rpm shift points and truck spun all 4 again but there were sprinkles between rounds and they did not dry and respray the track. Mods for that pass ProCharger P1(10psi at peak rpm), Circle D 278mm single disc 3200 stall, Klug Performance 93 tune, Black Widow 250 custom cat-back, stock manifolds and stock cats. It was 64 degrees with a DA of 1034 so not horrible air quality.

 

Now why did I post my 93 times because my one 13.96 pass and consistent 14.10 passes were on e85 and being I am running 93 with the ProCharger I wanted to try and compare apples to apples. Another difference with todays times were I left it in 4wd just to be careful and keep traction. Now in the past I showed leaving it in 4wd versus switching out of 4wd after the launch was good for 1-2 tenths in the 1/4 before on my truck. I am going to Milan Dragway on Wednesday and I will test that out there to see the time difference. I honestly think with better traction, and switching out of 4wd I will see 12s with my current setup. As always the tune is far from done and will keep you posted on all my progress. I am very happy with the truck and think my times today were a very good start.

that's a lot of stress you're putting on the transfer case by shifting it while on WOT.  Good times though.

Yeah I use to do it all the time but I'm honestly hesitant being supercharged now. Just a little more power than before. Maybe just one pass to see if it really helps or not. No more doing it on a regular basis.

Nice runs.  I'd bet it's got more in it.  Good luck Wednesday. 

I hope so. Going to my buddies Tuesday night after work to change some things in the tune. He wants to see a 12 second time slip Wednesday.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
