Are you going to take the Granatelli off? If you do and it runs faster then you should be able to get 200 or more for it on ebay and 200 will almost buy the ASP pulleys.

THE FIRST TIME I WENT TO THE TRACK, I RAN A 15.8. THAT WAS ALSO ON A FULL TANK OF GAS. I PUT IN A SET OF ELECTRIC FANS AND THIS TIME RAN ON 1/4 TANK- I WAS ABLE TO DROP MY TIME TO 15.1. YOU MIGHT WANT TO LOOK INTO SOME FANS.

get some NOS! you don't actually need the NOS! just put the stickers. for ever square inch on NOS sticker on yur truck you will cut .1 off yur 1/4 mile E.T. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

how much money do you have to spend? cuz a stall or some juice will cut some major time off yur ET but they aren't cheap either.

With 60* weather and assuming you have realtively good traction (~2.2 60'), I presume a 14.55-14.60 @ 93-94 mph would be about right...your 14.7 with those mods is a little on the fast side if you have a SCSB pre 02' truck.

Not that it couldn't happen, but timer errors do occur from time to time....I have a 12.30 time slip at just over 115 mph which I am confident my truck couldn't pull in its form that day.

I'm not so sure the 80mm is providing you with any benefit other than faster throttle response on a stock motor (it may help a bit as we have seen some 75-90 cfm improvements with OE ported units but these flow improvements don't necessarilty equate to more volume delivery.) As was mentioned earlier he GMAF and Hypertech are not the best when used in conjunction with one another.

Gentlemen... please consider that when you are running the defroster, you are also running the A/C!!! The A/C is used to help dry out the system, hence it helps to defog your windshield.
