Im going to the 1/4 mile track tonight and i want to see what other little things i can do to make a diffence in time. I am going to take off the tail gate. Thats just about all i know to do. People say drop the spare but wont that the help the traction? What about air pressure in the tires? Anything else?

Oh and tonights temp is going to be right around 35-40 degrees. Wont that help ?

i would like an answer before i go to the track in next 4-5 hours, lol

:bump::bump::bump:

the temp def will help out and dont loose the tailgate if u keepin the bed cover on. Traction wise these trucks suck so try your best. Air pressure i would drop a few pounds out of it but not too low. If u looking to loose weight out of it loose things up front or take shit out. I know my bike drops a few tenths in 30 degree weather compared to 90 degree weather.

bed cover has been off for awhile...but what about the spare tire, keep it or leave it?

Cold weather will help your engine but it will suck even more for traction!

You can drop the tailgate and spare to shed ~100lbs or so but you will lose some weight that would aid your traction. It's almost a catch 22 there...lol

Good luck!

id keep spare tire and gate on since it will be colder and traction wont be too great and u need all the weight u can get back there without sacrificing it.

 

[2000r/t]

well shit, should i put some sand bags back there?

You're back to the same catch 22, you can add weight but it will hurt your ET but you get some traction.

Some of the Dallas tracks are open on the weekend during the day when it is warmer. Most of the ones around here will not open or continue racing if it is below 50° or so.

plus most tracks wont let u run with loose items in ur bed.

Now now, I was saying most of the tracks in my neck of the woods will not open. Each track does it differently!

Good luck tonight!

My buddy has an 1999 Camero SS that got dynoed yesterday at 428 at the tires. Just put on a 92mm fastman intake ported, underdrve pulleys, TB spacer and mass flow, so i really want to see him run. He ran a 12.2 before, so i guessing high 11s.
