Awesome job man... your truck is coming along very well. Are these runs with the new 80e? I take it that she runs much better with it if it is.. lol

Those runs are with 11-12.5 psi with NO meth. BP 93 octane. 12 year old stock suspension with homebuilt long bars. Overload leaf removed. 14.5 degrees timing.

Kazfan30, yes got the 80 in the weekend before the shootout. Did not realize I was pushing through the converter cause it came alive with the 80e and the single disc yank.

Congrats on your new PB! With the cam you plan on installing and some meth, you should have no problem getting a 10 second slip!

That's great. Imagine if we were able to run 19-20psi like the 4.8's! Hello 9's lol.

My truck will be down for a few weeks, swapping cams and turbo with Bogarts. Also gonna switch to a 295/55 drag radial an figure out my suspension cause these slicks ate up my mph real bad! Looking forward to seeing you get in the 10s bu a realistic goal is 10.50's cause 10.90's is right there already!
