I can't see 12's from a 4400lb trucks that does mid 15's stock. From the mods I posted above, that may give you 100hp more to the wheels if that. If someone can more power to them, I haven't seen it thats why I asked.

Looks like you have a nice setup. I would interested to see what it runs, are you running it tomorrow? Have you ran it before?

Random, your always so easily aggravated. I wasn't serious when I posted that and did it intentionally to get a rise out of you. I have alot more done to my truck than an intake/tune which obviously we know won't run 13's.

Mid 15's stock? My truck when I got it from the used car lot (completely stock) ran a 15.24 on 20's. Now I have just some of the slightest mods (K&N filter, Catless 3" Y pipe, Pacesetter Longtubes.) and ran a 14.88 with a little tire spin. So I figured maybe a 14.7x or low 14.8x at the best if its hooking. I'll scan a timeslip if you want to see it that bad. I'm not trying to jump on anyone or bash I'm just stating the facts. I'm just looking to get my truck into the 12's (anywhere from 12.0-12.99) without any power-adders and as cheap as I can.

StreetSilverado, I believe you on your times. So you were .26 away from my statement of mid 15's which was an approximation. I believe you on the 14.88 that leaves you 1.89 away from 12's, which doesn't seem attainable to me with the mods you listed. If you can, good that would be bad ***, I don't want to give you false hope thats all.

Yeah I understand I'm just on here trying to get different opinions on what I should do to get my truck to at least a 12.99. Some think I can get it in there with what I'm going to do and some don't......I guess we will all find out when I get it all finished up . If NA don't work I won't be scared to spray a little 75-100 shot to bump it in the 12sec range

You're getting all caught up in horse power numbers. Don't neglect how much a bigger stall, gears, weight reduction, and traction will change numbers without adding horse power.

There are at least 8-10 guys I know of off hand who have hit 12s and mid 12s at that with the setup you were doubtful of.
