Those pacesetters are giving you some better torque than my JBA shorties but very close in HP. I still have the stock cats and I am 4x4 too! Gotta love the L33!

The L33 is a higher compression engine running 9.9:1

I was comparing your to dyno runs the other day.Very impressive L33 and of course you have 4x4.I believe the VHO would put down a larger number if they were dynoed and tuned by the same person that you got your awesome results from.With your numbers you should be rubbing it in the face of thoses 4x4 hemis laying down a wopping 260 HP Ok maybe 275 with compairible mods.

It's all in the tuning!
I cant seem to find anyone lately that wants to spar with me, plus it's been raining a little. I accidently lost traction in second today messing with a Mustang GT350 in a drizzle on a city street. That was fun!
Going to try the 1/4 on the 8th. of March with a few guys from here.
Wait till the cam goes in!

Expectations?
Having zero strip experience on stock tires....I'll be happy to break into the 14's, yes.
I haven't begun to look at cams yet, just know that one is in my future. I am a born tweaker there's always something more to do, isn't there?

In the next couple of weeks i plan on adding a shift kit, servos and a large cooler. Then later, either heads(lower compression), cam and S/C or just S/C..not sure about it yet.

One mod at a time, easy does it.

Yeah the tranny was adjusted in the tune and is really quick and firm right now. I am going to have Synergy do the shift kit and servos and adjust the tune for them.

You think i should do the 2nd. servo only? I have no idea how to install! LOL. That's why i was going to do the whole deal at one time at Rick's shop. Will it be too harsh shifting if i do the whole kit?

I wasnt sure if you were doing it or paying someone.I was saying if you or a buddy was capible to toss it in and try it like that for a while ,see what you think.Sounds like you have a guy you trust with your truck,go that route but have him look at the new servo,defenitly do NOT do a billet servo.http://www.powerglide.com/parts/parts/77911-03K.htm
