Just curious ... I was asked this the other day, and I honestly have no clue. Does anyone know of what the fastest nv4500 12v truck is?
 
Yea Jeff ran a 12.1 in the 1/4, but he has long since gone to an auto. I have the fastest one that is still a NV. I've ran a 7.9@90 in the 1/8th which would be around a 12.4-12.6 in the 1/4.
 
Way back in 01 i ran a 13.32@ 117. With my old 98flatbed. For it's time it was fast but like has been said Joe and Wayne have both been much faster. I'm sure there's some other quick ones out there aswell.
 
Wow ... I didn't realize low 12's have been hit with a nv4500. I need to get mine out on the track and see what it will do, but I don't expect anything super great. I would be happy to be in the 13's
 
the best I've done is 14.7 at 93mph! the clutch slipped bad when i hit 5th so i let out and right back in do thats at least a tenth or two right there! with supporting mods in sig!
 
No reason you cant go high 12's Mike!

Caleb,
I love your enthuiasm ... I honestly do!! ... but I just dont see my truck (at least with my crappy drag racing skills) hitting 12's. Next time your down at the shop ... why do you go for a ride with me in my truck, so you can feel how it runs, and maybe we can practice some launching techniques. Id really appriciate it!
 
Well get ya hooked up! If it'll launch in 3rd and actually hook to the track it will go!!!
 
Thanks Caleb! Let me know if your free this week at all (before Wednesday) and maybe I will run this week if I can get those tires off of Andy sometime. I'm just going to shoot for 13.90s .... Anything quicker than that I'm not sure if its within reason.
 
I will be launching in 3rd for the first time with my nv4500 in a couple of weeks

will i go into 5th going down the 1/4 or just 4th?
 
I think you will hit fifth gear ctd 03 should be toward the last 1/3 to 1/4 of the track.

I would say you will hit 5th, I hit 6th just @ the 1/8 mile post!
 
Did you end up running? What times?

No I didn't ... I tryed launching on the street with the e-brake holding me, and it just wont hold anything past 10psi. I tryed launching at 10psi ... and the truck laughed at me and tryed to put me threw the windsheild ... LOL

I can do the "3-pedal" to build boost fine ... but doing that do to a burnout and trying to do that at the track is two different things ... so Im just going to try to get a line-lock on the truck, then see if I can make a half respectable pass
