Lol, it certainly looks clean. I'm always interested to hear opinions and thoughts from the experienced guys as I am, by no means, an expert. I know I'm losing some low end torque for sure, probably to the tune of 50ft/lbs+. Now that its tuned up and all is working well, more boost sounds like a better option than changing intakes lol.

That debate has been all over facebook lately

I knew the truck intake was better (or just fine), but I got the holley anyway. Looks way cooler.

Great job on the PB!

Congrats!!! Maybe i'm a puss but that seems like a good bit of timing? Are you gonna bump it down when you turn up the boost?

Thanks man. Its more timing than I ever thought I'd run - the last run I made of the day was at 19.5* timing. I'm spraying a ton of 100% meth on a tiny little 4.8l which is keeping everything cool and detonation free - so far. When I increase boost, I will definitely back the timing down. Near future I'd like to be at 16psi and 16-17* timing.

Good deal! I'm running 14* with 17lbs spraying tons of ww fluid lol. I need to buy a drum of meth and learn to read plugs. Is your engine gen 3?

Yup, Gen 3. Lots of ww fluid, 17psi and 14* sounds in the ball park. Fastjweb is at 17psi on his 4.8l, spraying boost juice (50/50) and 13* so you're probably in the right ballpark.

After I bought my first 5 gallon drum of meth and quickly went thru it, after than I bought a 55gallon drum and almost saved 50% per gallon.

You must have your meth set up very aggressively. 5 gallons lasts me about 1.5 years with dual 14gph nozzles.

My 10.99 pass was a 7.00 at 99.3 with a 1.61. also ran a 10.92, but no slips that day, but I would have to think it would have been around a 6.95 for an idea. That 70 was awesome. but loving this 366.
