don't get me wrong, i am no expert. but something is not jiving here. it could be you are getting a lot of tq management. keeping you slower. if i had to look at what you have done and guess a time, i would say 14.7's to 14.8's. personally, i think you need more programming. i would try going at it without the tb spacer too. just to see. my hemi buddy bought a tornado to help him, well, it didnt' fit. he gave it to me. i tried it, no power gain. gas mileage seemed to improve but then again, pred went in a week after, so that could be the reason. the only cheap mod i have done worthwhile is the servo....sell it on ebay.

put it on ebay for about 50 or 60. i wouldnt try to sell it around here. you can but i think most folks here know what to buy and what not to buy. as BigKid and I were discussing, why increase the volumn on a truck that doesn't use volumn like per say, an older carb engine, where intake volumn was the big deal, the gas doesn't atomize with O2. it gets dumped right in to the cylinder.. that is my understanding of it anyway. yes, get rid of it.

you should be able to unload that hppIII for about 225 if you pay shipping too if you wanted to sell it. hell, selling that and the spacer, you are almost at buying edit. get a few people to go in with you and get it for around 250 a piece. talk to carputing.com. see what they will do for you. i think someone was trying to get a GP for edit going in classifieds

pulleys are gonna get you the low end grunt. i had them on my z28 and they were one of the few mods i could feel when i put them on. i know a few people were talking about eating belts but someone said if you run a half size smaller than what asp said to run then you would be ok.
