It was your truck that inspired me to go FI years ago. To this day I am still just amazed at your truck and all you've done for the Truck community. Many thanks Jarrett.

Thanks guys! Just wanted to see if the old thing still had it. I was pretty surprised! Since it's banned from the track again it might not be back for awhile lol
Thanks! I really like the Trick Intercooler. IAT's seem pretty good and it flows really well. I had to raise my turbo about half an inch, and modify one pipe because I have a KBRacing custom turbo header that sits turbo lower than the Trick header and std KB header. Other than that install was really straight forward and easy. Just takes time to get all the pipes clocked perfect but there is a lot of adjustment and everything ended up fitting perfect. Only cutting was a little bit off my bumper bracket, and had to re locate the temp sensor for the mirror. The runs I made were in warm ~80 deg temp vs my old 9.73 years ago at about 55~60 deg. Being on gas the intercooler is important. Also seems to make boost a little faster and easier.
It's especially not easy with these tracks kicking me out... lol We need some outlaw tracks around here..
No I had Hoosier 28/10/17 drag slicks on all 4. They do pretty good but added weight and do not work as well as my old MT 28/11.50/16 ET streets. They discontinued the Mickys and the Hoosier 17 was only choice.

"Your HP computed from your vehicle MPH is 959.19 rear wheel HP and 1,065.77 flywheel HP."
I get that from a HP calculator with 4850lbs, still amazing for a sbe but how much more do you think its realistically "begging for"?lol
Are you still on mostly stock drivetrain besides breaking stuff by trying to shift out of 4wd in power?(I thought it was you that tried that maybe im wrong) Front diff, tcase, rear 10bolt etc? If so anyone that now asks "how much HP can 4wd parts take" should be directed to this thread..

Yes but my truck is a Z71 so it came with 3.73's.
Yea it's prob a little bit more power than that due to the truck weighing closer to 4950 now, and the drag of the 4x4 with the 4 slicks. It's always been 2~3 mph faster in 2 wd. . Im not sure how much more is in it but I did run 8.2 with a similar setup in my nova. I think it would have hit a 9.5 for sure if I could have dropped the exh and got to play with the launch a little. Id say 9.3~9.4 and that's prob about it before it chucks rods lol. Also was running in fairly warm temp and that kills it about .2 over the cool neg da the TX guys get to run it. Truck has gone 6.0x@117 mph before in the 1/8 open exh with a cast S480. My exh is only 3.5'' so it's a little restrictive for 1000 hp and mid 6K rpm. Picks up about 1.5 ~2psi and a lot of top end uncapping it, just sounds gawd awful! Everything is stock in drivetrain except for the Jakes parts in the trans, a true track, and has aftermarket rear axle shafts. I did break a stock axle years ago.
