Once again should be do-able with bolt-ons and drag radials with a good driveline setup. I am hoping to see high 8's 1/th mile on my big pig with a 4.8 in a week and a half. That would put me high 13's 1/4. A good tune and setup will do it all day.

my truck ran 14.1 @ 94mph with stock converter, street tires, 4:10s, cai, headers/exhaust, and a tune. 13s with a small converter should be no problem.

I'm pretty stoked to start on the engine swap and take it to the track!

:O Ohhh.. sorry i didn't pay attention to that, i figured he had a cam swap cause thats fast. H/C/I what does that mean?
And when you do a cam swap it isn't considered a bolt on?
I wanna do a xr265 cam but idk what do you guys think? I still want low end torque
