I say low 13's maybe 12's. The tires will hurt you a little but not sure how much.

Axle ratio & trans, stock cam?

I'd bet you'll get in the mid 13's on the big tires. Put the stockers on & get some low 13's.

You won't be able to get too aggressive with the tune, since you're not intercooled.

ok, is there a way to intercool these superchargers? i can fabricate like a champ. i just dont have the supercharger in my hands to see what can be done.it has stock cam with crane 1.85 quick lift rockers. i have 3.73 gears, and 4l60e with 3200 circle d converter. i will also be launching in 4x4 auto.

what do these superchargers do to fuel economy?

Sincal T/A has done a bunch of work experimenting with intercooling the Whipple, and working with the inlet for a larger throttle body. PerformanceTrucks.net Forums - View Profile: SincalT/A Check out some of his threads and posts, or send him a PM.

As far as fuel economy goes, that all depends on how you drive it. If you stay out of boost, economy will stay the same. But when you go into boost, the PCM adds fuel....

Hope that helps!
