My suspension from then is the same crappy one from now. When I ran the 12.7's, I was running on 26's which gave me crappy traction.... 1.9's and 2.0's 60'. Now my constant times in this weather are 12.6's with 1.8's 60'..........the difference now is that I'm running 28's and those good-looking chrome lakewoods for reduced tire hop.

......and that single 12.5 pass isn't going to stay as it is........

Damn cold never stood here.

Don't take this the wrong way, we're not bashing you at all Blackpearl. We just feel you expect too much from just a cam swap. There's lot's of differences between La Chochita and your truck. I sure hope you get in the 12's but 6 tenths drop with just a cam swap??? or 1 second to hit a 12.5??? that's a bit too much to ask for. Mid 13's is very respectable, a couple of tenths more and a good supension setup and more tweaking here and there like Eddie (riddler) said and lets hope you get in there. Yes, I'll take you to hooters and you can eat all you want and drink all the ice tea you want too, sorry no beer for you till u turn 21 . You can have all the tequila (reposado) you want at my house.....
