Track times from my first time out with the truck

[TruckA]

I'm posting the first and the seventh and eighth runs below separated by commas.
1st 7th 8th
Reaction: .7415, .5829, .4649
60ft: 2.5530, 2.4154, 2.4023
330ft: 6.7653, 6.2757, 6.2789
1/8 ET: 10.0991, 9.3677, 9.4381
1/8 MPH: 75.10, 80.54, 76.95


This is the first time I've ever really drag raced at a track, and I know I need to work on my reaction time, but I had alot of fun and suprised the hell out of alot of people, alot of people gave me props and wanted to know what was under the hood b/c they heard the BOV. I beat a 302 mustang, but I'm not sure what mods he had, it looked and sounded pretty much stock. I really want to take it to a shop in Greensboro, and have them tune it on the dyno so I can crank the boost up. All of the runs were performed with the boost set at 18psi, and I know the 16g can go up to around 24psi. I also started to reduce tire pressure to 30psi for the 7th run, and 25 psi for the eighth. The first two runs sucked b/c I kept breaking traction. Anyways, it was a good time, and I hope I can get out there again soon.

stop hammering it so hard off the line, feather the clutch, you should be able to do a low 2 second 60ft. time in that truck if it has a limited slip. I don't know 1/8th mile anything, but 18psi on an untuned setup is NOT recomended!

I'm not John Force or anything (at least not yet ) and it was my first time really out. I was running kinda like smog mentioned, revving to around 3500 or so, then trying not to break traction from the start. I ran my old non turbo 300zx many years ago, and I aim to become a better dragger next time I go out. I just really wanted to see what it would do, I have no plans to make my truck a drag strip trailer queen b/c I need to use it as a work truck when needed. I have tuned quite extensively, but not up to the level where I feel comfortable to turn the boost up any more, I will rely on experts who have shops and tune for a living, and I can hopefully learn a few things from them.

Thanks for the info, I will definately look into to it. I think I had read about a similar training program in a magazine a few years back.
