He is on here, just doesnt really post very much. Symantec01 or something like that. Anyway, its just a 226/226 .575/.575 114lsa (Futral F4) with a TCI3000 verter and a few bolt-ons.

You could have Allen raise your idle a tad. Though going too high wouldn't be good. The 145 amp alt will help some. The bigger alt pulley may still be needed. The bang for the buck just went south now though.
I think your truck is now needing some bolt-offs instead of bolt-ons (your running out of those). I'd say remove your rear and passneger seat before you leave home. Take the center console out as well. Of course remove whatever else is not needed when you get to the track. Get those slicks put back on as well. Pump up the air pressure in the front tires to the max psi.
Don't eat for a few days either.
Buy a few extra bags of ice as well. I think we need to ice down your intake manifold while you wait in line and right before you stage. Just need to make sure you remove your plastic engine cover. We may even need to keep a bag of ice on top of your UPD intake box lid. Is there anyway to buy a short belt to just run the water pump and bypass everything else? Probably not, but would definately help lower your ET if it could be done.
You could even loose a bit of nose weight if you could rig up a way to use an ATV type 12v battery temporarily.
I'd bet you would be able to shave a few more tenths with these cheap tricks.

Stewart, get a UD crank pulley, yes a 145 amp ALT will help, but Im still running my 105, and have been for over a year, get an Optima batt too, it seemed to help a bit.
