2007 V6 2X4 Pulling boat. 0-30 = 63.455 1/4 mile = 3 min.

trap speed 32.2. Full tank gas in boat, load of fish, dawg in back.



8 tires counting boat and truck spares.

oil from dealer



:banana::banana:

 
you got me by a full second :(



in 07 i ran my o7,4x4, v-8 heavy fully loaded trac.

16.2 was it.



so thats why i went out a got a fully loaded v-8 toyota 4runner :)

can't wait to get it to the track as it is quick!



 
1tech,



i also question as my 07 sounds very similar and the published test runs put it at very low 16's. imo a 15.2 with that setup and weight is in qeustion.



tom,



your right, i don't know how to drive :rolleyes:



please bring something to the table other than your silly satements.



btw, where is your rocket escort that you have been dreaming ? (blowing smoke up our a...)



AGAIN, your table is empty :eek:
 
I'd have ALL u guys over a barrel with my 1970 " Boss 429 Tang" nearly 4 DECADES later! LOL

I would also have been A LOT smarter (and richer), if I didn't panic over the first U.S. oil embargo in '73 and "give" her away for pennies on the dollar. I AM STILL KICKING MYSELF! Boo-Hoo!

P.S.- Pls. don't say it's "only" money, this was my FIRST "true" sweetheart. Anybody got a gun? haha :(
 
swshawaii, '70 429 Boss is my dream 'Stang. Not that is was the fastest out there, it wasnt. Also was a tuners pita. It is just the nostalgia of the rarity. Also I like the '70 more than the '69 body. The 429 '70 body had subtle differences over the other '70 bodies that I like. Had a clean unclutered look.

Attn: Fast Eddie '04 - Thanks for "reminding" me of her "perfect" clean body. I still have wet dreams about my first love. Needless to say I am NOT going to even look at her "market" value.

After 40 years, I don't think there are many left out of 500 produced. ALOHA, Steve
 
Hey Shirley..you called me Notech so I think Shirley is justified. Wasn't trying to ruffle your pin feathers. Just your time seems a little low to me considering the vehicle and mods. I would have expected more like a 1/2 sec reduction in 1/4 mile time. It takes alot of added horsepower to realize a full second reduction in 1/4 mile time as long as traction was never an issue and all other variables reamined the same, and IMO your added mods don't equate into that big of a horsepower increase.You seem very proud of the time so I am surprised that you don't have a time slip. Would have loved to see it is all. You never did say if your time was corrected or not.
 
Are all sorts of E/T calculators on the net.

With perfect conditions, perfect launch etc, You need 295 at the crank @ 4800 lbs to run mid 15s
 
As we said in the Seventies. "For Papers" (or title). IOW - "ALL IN" See u guys at the track with pink slips in hand. NUFF SAID !!! :huh::huh:
 
hey notech, J/K



i agree that you will not gain a full second with those mods. i had the same vehicle with a magnaflow cat-back and i ran a 16.2. the tune and intake will not be enough to run a 15.2 imo.



tom,



nice try on the back pedal attempt :rolleyes:
