Still have the POS HPP3 but I must pay off this engine before I buy anything else like a custom tune. And actually I'm heading out to Temple Academy tomorrow night and will probably be there next Friday as well. It would be cool to meet up with you again, and I have a friend with a nice Hemi truck that will probably be there as well. You should really come out there. Last time when I ran the 14.3 I had 3 groups of people come up to me what I had done to it. They don't see many fast trucks around here. But there was a bad silver Camaro SS running 10s on the spray and pulling the front tires

Well hope to see you there next week man, as long as the nice weather stays around.

Your 6.0 liter stock. How much of a difference are you seeing between your 5.3. I can't decide to cam or not to cam that is the question. Tuning is a big factor do you think allen nelson can tune for a tr224 by mail order?
thanks again William

I need to hit the track before it warms up. If the weather is good, I'm going to try to be there next Friday.

Yes Gonzo, I have just about all of the pics and such I've posted and hosted over the last 5 years or so.

Well it ran a best of 13.99@96.9 spinning a lot off the line with a lousy 2.21 60 ft. This was on the 20's which didn't help traction at all. All I wanted though was a 13 second timeslip and I got it

97 mph on a stock 6L with hypertech tuning isn't bad. You've got to get some traction. You should be capable of 1.8 60' times with the stall and 6L if you had traction. Thats at least a mid 13 if not a little better.

Welcome to the 13s N/A.
