13.55@98.68... lol you'd think i'd break that illusive 100mph mark, but not so, lol.

this run i finally got it to kinda hook, 1.89 60' time... couldnt launch any higher than 2000 rpms. Truck ran good all day. MT DR's are on the way, hopfully i'll cut some better 60' times with them, idk when it'll be that good of weather again (that day the da was -2000 something and it was in the 50's)

13.55@98.68
60ft-- 1.89
raceweight= 4200lbs even.

thanks for the comments

almost identical mods as 01thunder actually... only thing that seperates us are the ladder bars (i'll be getting caltracs next) and the fact that he weighs less than me. It'll take a bit to get anything better than his 13.2 tho... we'll see.

mods are:
Tr224 cam
918 springs &pushrods
3400 stall
4.10 gears
posi rear
built 4l65e
bolt ons
free mods
lt headers
gutted cats

that run you all are hearing is with the cutout open... no one beleives me that its a 4.8l at the track. I actually think 01thunder's truck with those IMCO mufflers sounds damn good

Congrads on the new best

1.89 60' is pretty damn good. My best is 1.82 but my average is only 1.87 with the SC

1-2@6200 2-3@6300

on the dyno the power range seemed to quit right at 5900 rpms... so we figured to go a few hundred past that, i was shifting at 6500 and 6700 that was too much, power seemed to drop off up there.

Do you by chance have a pic of your dyno? I am curious if the drop off at that rpm is because of the intake or if is the actual powerband of the cam. I was under the impression that one would need to spin the motor higher with that cam. I guess it could be the difference in displacement. If not, then I may have to think about a 224 cam instead of the 220.
