Snake Bite track results

[Rick@Amazon]

Went to the track tonight to give the snake bite some baseline runs. We ran a 8.7@80 mph in the 1/8th. We picked up .5 sec in et and 4mph with just a blower swap. The track was pretty crappy. The ricers had the first 300 foot of the track real wet and it was real hard to 60 foot the truck. We'll put Lizz on a diet and try out the track link bars Saturday.
Rick:cheers

Nice!

Thanks Wayne

that should work out to what a little over one second in the 1/4......thats definitly something..... awesome!

[justaf150]

sounds like a good start for things to come:bigtu congrats!

[Dyno Bob]

Thank you for posting results.
We do appreciate all the extra time you all have put into this project.

damn ricers. Congrats!

[SVTPoweredF150]

Thats a good improvement, especially for heavy ass Harley. Congrats! What did the 60 foot times look like?

[SHO SPD]

For sure and inprovement! Nice times! :rockon_ford

Real bad, 2.0 about every run. I'd get the et streets good and hot then just spin through the 60ft with all the water on the track. 2nd run on it was a waste being there once the ricers drug the water on the track.

Rick:cheers

[SVTPoweredF150]

Well shoot, those times are solid for a 2.0 sixty foot. Congrats and good luck next time, im sure you will go even faster.

[MM Shaggy]

Damn those R great times for a 2.0 60'. Damn, thats impressive.

[Linn@Amazon]

now that the base line testing is over we are going to put Lizz on a diet,install the Metco suspension stuff and head out to a different track Saturday...we are going to see how fast we can make her with the stock block then move on to the next phase of the build..maybe see what the Snakebite will do with a built motor and different pulley combo before we get to the Hellion TT install

[SVTPoweredF150]

Good luck guys :bigtu

[HAMMER]

Not bad times at all
with a good track and get those 60ft times down your looking at 8.4 maybe 1/8th and high 12 low 13 1/4

[slow94]

not bad. should be able to run an 8.3-8.5 easily. Right in range of most pullied harley's. :smt023

If I have a chance I'm gone to change the pulley before we go to the track Saturday. Want to push it a little to see if this blower falls off up top. I'll post up how I did this weekend.

could you be more specific with your comparison?

[Brahmus]

We picked up .5 sec in et and 4mph with just a blower swap.

Compared to what, when it had a stock blower and pulleys?

Yea, I'd like to see that too, as I'm a pullied lightning only running 8.3s

[Honda Hunter]

So a SB vehicle vs a pullied vehicle same boost the SB is faster?

[spyder1337]

What's the benefit of installing a SnakeBite over going the lower pulley route? Track times seem to be similar in comparison. Just a different route to get you to the same goal? More efficient? Personally, 2.0 60ft or not, i'd be pissed if I spent the money on a snakebite over a lower and ran an 8.7 @ 80, from a customers point of view. Maybe i'm just expecting more with the hype and secrecy around the SB product.

This isn't meant to be taken as a flame or a put down of the product, just not understanding the benefit of the product. Enlighten me.

a lower is not an option for this HD.. we are going to run compound boost and need the caged stock lower..we were testing with a HD which is still in stock trim and heavier than a Lightning.. I have already provided the link to thread on all the testing done

[Derek@Amazon]

rick to give you an idea... my truck went 8.1@86 in the 1/8 to a 12.7@107 in the 1/4 and that was a 1.8 60ft cant remember if it was a 1.84 or 1.87

[stickbo]

Forgive my ignorance but what does the caged lower have to do with a turbo setup?
I saw you say that before and I have been racking my brain trying to figure out what for. I have also never done a compound boost setup,so.

Congrats on the results. I know your happy and thats all that matters. :)


What does that come out to in the 1/4? I ran a 8.57@83.90 with a 2.03 60' and the run ended in a 13.28@104.76 on my bone stock L. Your getting down there in the area of spanking some stock L's. :)

[Dyno Bob]

Very excited to see how it goes at the track tonight.
Thanks!

What is this stock L you speak of? I thought those were extinct. HAHA

[slow94]

could you be more specific with your comparison?

There is a local 4 door HD that runs 8.3's-8.5's consistently with a 6lb lower and stock upper. But he uses 18 inch lightning wheels out back with drag radials. He runs with the stock 20's up front and very minimal weight reduction if any. His truck runs exceptionally well though for what it is.

[stickbo]

LOL I think they are,that was 4 years ago. LOL since then mods have been added,but its still slow as hel,which is why I dont bother running it.



Also really interest in why you need to keep the stock lower with compound boost. I am not making any statements, I really am curious. :) Is it that obvious? Damnit I feal stupid :(

[Lurch]

Note local 4 dr only has a 4lb on it, JDM Tune,Cold air kit, Valve body that's it.

Ok, so that's why you chose this route. However, that wasn't the point of the thread though was it? Still would want to know why someone would go this route (more expensive) over say a lower, when lower times seem to be what you ran or even faster. That's my question.

[crewsy]

The whole secret is you make more power when you increase pulley ratio...It seems with the Snakebite that the increased ratio is built into the blower...Compared to a ported blower and either a smaller upper or larger lower the SB seems a little expensive...I would assume, although I'm not sure, you get the increased charge temps with the SB that you get with increased ratio pulley setups.

Yeah dave the charge temps would be identical to a blower spun to the same rpm with pulleys.




I have read the pictures of the inside of the snakebite eaton are harder to find than porno pics of john madden on the net. No joke.
