Reset our own record for the fastest NA 4th Gen 4 Door Ram - 12.18 @ 110.15
2014 Ram QC 8 Speed - 12.18 @ 110.15 in a -41 DA
Mods - Greene Racing custom tune, BES Stage 1 Heads, Greene Racing Stage 1 HL Camshaft, Stainless Works 1 3/4" LT's, Fastman 84 mm, ATI Underdrive, Ported Intake Manifold, Clutch Fan Delete, 170 Tstat, and a Paramount 4000 Converter
We really struggled with traction with the new converter, more then I expected. That with a headwind didn't help it run what I hoped. This pass converter flashed to 3552, spinning though first, it short shifted at 5440, and then caught traction at 3776 in the next gear. Really wished it had been a clean pass but racing is racing. Will be moving on to the 426 next time out. Stay tuned!
Truck was fully prepped on drag radials!
Here are some pictures of the 426 build.

Appreciate it man!
It's running now, made 634/639 to the wheels and then we had a valve seat issue in cylinder 6. Evidently when the rocker broke at speed on the dyno it slapped the valve shut hard enough to take out the guide. Worked well for a while but eventually wore out fully.
Had the heads reworked and hand finished more. Should down more power now.
