i didnt have a fbody to run or the g body either for that matter, but i did run what i did have, my STOCK(beat up, lol) 96 dodge Ram 2500. 5.9L Cummins Turbo diesel, auto, 4.10s, non-posi, bald tires basically too.
first run was 18.1 then i varied from 18.2-19.0. Then im my last run, I managed to put down a 17.96 @ 74mph. My main problem was launching, i either came off the line with too much boost and spun both tires or not enough and took too long to spool up. With my street tires i couldnt spool over 2100rpms on the line and even then id loose traction once i took off. And then it would shift into the next gear at like 68mph and fall on its face then. Oh well, it was fun regardless, and now i have baseline numbers to compare to after future upgrades(fuel pump plate, turbo-back exhaust, intake, injectors, and posi dually rear)
