Holy ****... no contest. You must feel great about it right about now. It runs awesome!

That is easily a mid 12 second truck. I have no problem putting you under a 12.5 if the launch is strong. It takes a lot of fine tuning to get everything you can out of that.

Do you know how much boost by any chance?

Before it was reading about 7 but moved around some and I noticed when I took it apart that the fuel rails werent solid because the bolts i used were a bit long. Either way, I got that fixed along with all of this upgrading and i see a pretty solid 9 psi now.

Wow. I'm surprised at more boost with a set of heads and a cam. The pulley alone would have been worth about 3, so it does make some sense. Also, it's a fairly low overlap cam.

Either way, I love the results!! As you bring it up to more boost in the next phase of this build (meth and machining the snout for more boost. Yes I love spending other members money!!!) it's only going to get better and better. Just wait till you are near the boost level of Tim, Pat, and I. This truck is going to be a force to reckon with!!

I dont know how much I was leaking before but it doesnt seem to be a problem now. When I say it was moving around, I mean I was seeing numbers between 5 and 7 during the same pull with it hardly ever lingering at any one of those points.

And my wife already dislikes this place, so i dont know how she would feel about even more stuff!

I am still trying to get the timing at the line figured out, because I can only bring it up to around 2k stall before timing cuts at the line. I can use the throttle to keep it in the higher timing, but it is tough to modulate against the brakes for an optimal launch.

Update: I am starting to piece together an 8 rib setup (albeit slowly, expect to be complete around mid-2016) and I had my tune updated for the 2.5 bar MAP sensor. I plan to have some pulleys machined at 3.3 (same as 6 rib I have now), 3.1, and 2.9 inches. So, that should be enough to push me into a methanol injection setup. I'll likely get a large 6 gallon bed mounted tank since I also just bought a folding bed cover and it won't be obvious and in the open.

Love all of it. Great progress. You will be amazed at what is to come.
