That was at Capitol Raceway in Crofton. I calculated DA with the DA calculator on dragtimes.com. It will pull weather data by track, date and time.

I attended the 2017 Sikky Block Party today and had a blast. There was a good mix of cars there. I took the opportunity to throw my ISF on the dyno. I don't know how Sikky's Dynapack compares number-wise to other dynos (probably a little high), but regardless the numbers my car put down had me smiling...434 whp & 403 lb/ft. I'm sure certain variables have changes the numbers over the years, but last time I dyno'd on a Sikky Dynapack was 2012(?) and the car put down 405 whp with JoeZ intake pipe, Sikky headers, and Borla catback. All in all it is always fun to get together with a bunch of other car people.

Hit the drag strip today and had a pretty good DA. In the beginning track conditions were good and I wasn't having too much trouble hooking up. I only managed one really good 60 ft time. I thought I would be able to hit 11s today, but missed it by 4 thousandths. Funny enough, if I had my the same 60 ft time on the two passes following my 12.003 @ 117.4 pass, both would have squeaked into the 11s. Oh well, there's always next year. After the first few passes, the high horsepower cars started laying down the rubber and my traction slowly got worse.

This is more of a note to myself for future reference when buying wheels. Work T7R 2p wheel is probably the least expensive, decent looking, fully offset customizable wheel I've come across.

So I just put insurance back on my ISF and started driving it again...falling in love again. I had considered selling it, but I am realizing I can never do that. In fact I think I am going to spend some money on her.

On that note I am just starting to research a few more mods and checked in to see if there were any new wheels that would be good for our cars...and I came upon this. WedsSport came out with the TC105X!!! I've always loved the TC105N, but the sizes were never right. The new TC105X has a variety of sizes and is still super light like the TC105N.

Do like ljdsong and gearbangin and go with the 18x9.5 +45. Perfect specs for a meaty tire and no fender work on these cars.

Well I just changed out my ISF's garage mate...out with the highly modified 2016 Nissan Titan XD Pro4X Cummins and in with the (hopefully remains mostly stock) 2019 Ford Raptor.

No, I traded in my 2016 Nissan Titan XD Pro4X Cummins and got the Raptor...Definitely not getting rid of the ISF.

Perfect choice of daily and weekend cars. I love the raptor, only other consideration for me would be the GSF, for a daily. I love that the Raptor is aluminum, it’s great for the salt belt.

so what are you plans for the F? Full track build?
