X2, Jarret went 9.65 with a cam that's even smaller than the TU0.

I think I already told you before, but I think the real problem with your truck is the converter and tune. Better verter for your 60' and better tune for mph.

Yeah Z, I have a Dyno tune lined up in 2 weeks to get more out of it, and for now im going to keep the convertor until i decide if i keep a 60 or go 80e later. I only threw this one out there because after i sell my cam to a friend im pretty much getting this TU0 for same price... Only thing im out is labor for myself and a few gaskets.. But if the gains will be minimal i wont even bother changing it out...

You can add 1 psi of boost and probable make more power then the cam will add.
