id like to know what the headwind will do also, when i ran the 12.00 i had a bad 30 mph head wind. i guess th eonly way to know is to run it again without the head wind.

Some dyno shops have a program that calculates it I'm told.

well it went 1.88 60' and 13.00@103.47 spinning 20' off the line, going to add spring clamps to see if it will help with the take off.

welp took the weiand intake off and put the stock intake on, seems to be a better daily driver mod then the truck intake, but track results showed me 3.10's slower and 3 mph slower as well.

I will find out friday night.

Thanks for following the experiment.

Think maybe being aluminum it was soaking up more heat?

no heat soak, hell it went 12.81@105mph in the heat of july with stock intake and it was 68* friday and only could get a 12.87@103mph with the weiand intake.

swaping to this ls6 alluminum intake was supposed to be good for another 5/10's, it was a test to see if the truck intake is better, will try the composite ls6 intake next year.
