Took the mighty 4.8 to the track
Well, I wanted to get a good base line for the 4.8 with 10 psi of boost before winter (might be getting a 6l swap, its sitting on the shop floor 
) and was pretty happy with the results. First pass was the best of the night at a 13.47 @ 100.7mph with a 2.00 60'. Was pretty happy with this. Also backed it up with 13.499 @ 98, lifting trying not to break out. I was racing in a bracket class and only got 2 timing runs the second, suck, I didn't get a good, boosted launch. So I dialed a 13.5. Made it 3 rounds before I got beat by the track champ (who won the class that night). I think it had more in it when the temps cooled off later in the night, but it was already late and I had a 2 hour drive to get home. Probably could have ran about 13.3 with a 1.9 60' but that's just a guess
. Not too bad for a heavy *** 4x4 truck with a little motor
