- true 3" inch duals
Other things which Im contemplating;
- 6.0 #317 heads
- 3.0 pulley

What combination of these mods or others will get me there.

I've run a best of 13.24 with the 3.25 pulley, stock cam, and drag radials. I'm HOPING with the cooler weather coming up, and race gas, I might be able to hit high 12's. I'd go with the cam, Forget the dual 3" (your present set up looks good), with a little more timing, and meth, you should be there. There's LOTS to be gained in tuning! You're probably going to need some kind or drag radials, too.

I would go with the meth injection, more timing, smaller pulley and some good tires and you should be there. Mjhoward would be the guy to tlak to, shoot him a pm, we put meth/laky injection on his truck, lt headers, cam, and a 3inch pulley and he was putting down like 413hp and 450tq but has since added 5 more degrees of timing and a larger intercooler and he says it runs a hell of alot better he is probably closer to 500hp now. His truck runs damn good.

I totally agree with the cam, and tune, but the meth would be a track only system.
