I am also going to sell the American Racing Header system with the cutout as well after I can get it taken off and get some pics of it.

I know it will take quite some time to finish but it is going to be a wonderful comparison of professionally built and installed setups. I know the trap will differ a lot but I wonder about the 330 and the 660 times which is where most everything happens except for roll racing not to mention fun factor for a DD. Can't wait!

Only problem with comparison, once I maximized the blower set up, I never did get a full pass out of it because of the wheel hopping water pump pulley launching passes that I got it. All I have are street roll racing videos of the truck beating low 11 second cars that trap 125ish mph.

Dang so it had power to run very low 11's or high 10's? I didn't realize. That sure makes it desirable for a DD. Do you think that the short gears of the 6 spd contributed to the wheel hop...too much torque out of the hole?

I dont think it has anything to do with the gears. I think it was because the power hits soooo hard as soon as you hit the throttle at any rpm or speed, once you lose it from a dig it wouldnt dead hook til 70mph, but I could go from about a 45 mph roll no problem.

Well I had a cup of coffee and read the whole damn thing.

You'll be hearing from me very soon, I really enjoyed the read.

Hey Mike I never could pull up the vid showing the before and after tune times in the beginning. Do you still have the slips or the vid? Thanks!
