picked up my TR224 and 7.4's from tootall the week before last, got my new timing chain, gaskets, and pac1218's from TSP, my circle d 3200 will be here monday, a tru cool 40,000 GVW cooler is on order, Wheatley will be doing the tuning this time, and i will hopefully be ordering some caltracs and rancho 9000's within the next month or so......

I would be tickled pink to see a 12.99 out of it. I think its feasible if i can cut a good 60' with the caltracs and ranchos set up correctly

what do you guys think?

 

I thought i would add, the truck is a RCSB with a 5.3, 60e, 4:10's, LT's full 3", and full bolt-ons. its never been on a scale, but the spare tire and assembly has been removed, and the bumper has been replace with a roll pan.

 

bro i wouldnt see why you wouldnt bust a nice 12 sec pass!!!

good luck on the mods, seems you got a good setup going on !!

 

I agree with Skeet.. should hit 12's. Good luck on the mods. I bet the waiting is killing you like it is me. I'm waiting for my Patriot Heads, s/b early in the week on arrival. Already received the ARP's, lifters, and gasket.

 

yes it is killing me! its still gonna be a few weeks til i can put it in though....
i at least want to be able to stare at all the parts sitting on the workbench. lol
yours should be really strong with those heads!

 

Honestly I thought I'd get courageous and learn to do it myself with assistance, but I don't have the time with f/t job and the house remodel.

 

yeah i hear ya. im a shift worker and a full time student. extra time is in short supply. tootall is is gonna show me how since this is my first cam swap. i will be doing my converter in my driveway on jackstands

 

same combo i got except i put it in a 6.0......good luck....Rob

 

that 6.0 makes a BIG difference. I bet it is a strong runner. what does it run?

 

well, i got my converter put in yesterday. its a bitch when the converter bolts break off in the flywheel... not a lot of room to get much in there. it only took my THREE hours to get the tc bolts out....

anyways, the converter brake stalls to 2300rpm and flashes to 3000 when i stab the gas from a dead stop. i likey...
