1st time out drag racing with the truck!!

Last weekend I took my truck out drag racing for the first time at the local 330' track (Only track around for a couple hundred miles). I was relatively surprised at the times! I had a best run of 5.88 @ 54.87 MPH. This was faster than any of the other vehicles running street tires except for an 1100cc motorcycle, and a supercharged mustang on drag radials. My best 60ft time was 1.70. The printer on the time machine was out of ink so I only got the first 15 runs recorded. I ran 28 runs back to back with the DTT trans getting up to 180 by the last 2 runs. I was holding 20 psi of boost for up to 5 or 6 seconds a couple times, I am really happy the way the DTT performed at the track. My truck looks totally stock with everything hidden away except for the AFe intake and stacks. Guys were looking under the hood and shaking their heads when they didn't see shiny pieces or evidence of being modified.

I do seem to have a mis with the comp on 5x5 that was getting worse as the night went on, I am not sure exactly what is causing this problem yet. However; after playing with the sublevels on my comp box, the truck has been doing weird things like cutting out every now and again, and stumbling sometimes, like when the timing is off on a gas engine. I am starting to wonder if my ECM is needing to be reset or something. Other than that, I had a great time and can't wait to do it again, hopefully with the twins on next outing!!
