also some of my times were 4 and 5 sec r/t, since i was not concerned with the race, but making more boost (which it wouldnt)

wasn't trying to offend you, I've never tried to build vacuum in the brakes from a roll. I usually make sure I'm stopped so I can get a good amount of pressure on the pedal as I'm revving and I don't push through the brakes as I'm building boost.

is the lack of boost at the line a truck related issue or a lack of oxygen/high altitude issue? Or can you build 10psi at the line but the brakes can't hold it?

altitude sucks no matter what, because even if you're running really great times up there, to sea level people you're still running slow as shit hahaha.

That was Steve from coloradoracing.com and Jim is the owner of the vega. I'm quite sure he doesn't have a DSM, but you might be thinking of Mick with the 10 second white 1g.

I own a 2014 GTR and i can't wait to get my Sy running again soon as I plan on running them side by side. Btw, a stock 13/14 GTR runs 10.8 1/4 mile bone stock so don't feel bad.

like i said no offence, and up here in the clouds, it will never push thru the brakes. sea level, no prob. remember, nhra time index for bandimeres in denver is 1 full second difference (except top fuel/funny car)
people at 11 nats will tell you how much altitude sucks. pueblo (5000ft ish)where i was racing is a little lower than denver(5300 ft ish). where i live is 6500 ft.

Re: Typhoon vs GTR

Nice vids man! That altitude is killing you my stock truck w/ only exhaust and small cone filter ran a 1.8 60 ft down in Phx. I hate it when I can't get a good boost launch tho like my last race against a SRT8 jeep with a cam chip n exhaust. I lost and probably would have have lost even with a good launch too. They go pro'd it too and never put it on you tube. Bastards!

Re: Typhoon vs GTR

Ron is definitely fighting a lack of converter. Once he gets something decent in there it will be like driving a whole different truck.

Re: Typhoon vs GTR

Mine went 13.7 on the only fast pass I made with it, I have no doubt it could've hit 13.5 or less. Definately has 12's in it, with some sticky tires.

What turbo are you running? You should easily hit sub 2.0's 60' time with a stock turbo & converter...

He has a 20g. I sat in the truck while he was trying to build boost.....wasn't happening and I tried everything in the tune.
