Ran 14.0 with the Suburban

[tbyrne]

So close to the 13s but they ended up being so far away. I went up to New England Dragway for some opening day racing. The weather was good and the place was packed. I took 4 runs before calling it a night. Ran back to back 14.08s and then a 14.20 and 14.22. Both of those runs bumped the rev limiter going into 3rd. I was going to take a 5th pass but that would have been an hour of waiting and then another 2 hours home so I left happy with the 14.0 @ 96.59 MPH. I launched the truck in Auto 4WD. That produced 60' times of 2.0 on each run (best was 2.00). Not to bad for 6800lbs.

 

I also ran into "Mervz" (site admin) up there. It was nice to finally meet you!

Those are good times! Have you had Lyndon work the PCM? I wonder if he could get more out of that supercharger. Also, since you are using the stock exhaust, you could get more out of it by upgrading.

I thought about having Lyndon work on the computer but I have a few years worth of gradual upgrades from Ed Wright. The tuning is pretty much on the money now. The tenth that I'm looking for could come from a new exhaust but I think the truck quiet. The only system that I would run is from Corsa but they don't have anything available for the 3/4 ton Suburbans at this time.
