ok, i updated that pic up top again, ran a few runs tonight and got a 11.84 with a pasenger and a 100shot. about ready to try a 125 with some traction, thinking 11.69 would be SWEET.

also, i swaped out the intake and made about 5 nitrous runs tonight and 3-4 NA runs, it never died. it was also a little colder. i think the intake may have a crack in it that i can't see but i need to go out when it is warmer to know for sure that it is fixed. i am very hopefull. it was nice to just go out and beat on my truck and not have it dieing on me.

i am always slower at the track but i am starting to feel prety good about a high 11 ET. if i can pull a 11 with just a camed 6.0 with a 125shot that just seems too easy. talking no boost, no heads, i do have some other stuff. heck, i still have the stock fuel pump even.

Aren't you running your inline pump?

Geez...your truck is getting fast as ****! I can't imagine what you'll be hitting once you're done with your hole set up.

Jim, I'm thinking about installing one of those inline pumps. Did you have to buy any extra fittings or misc parts to hook it up? I assume it would hook up directly after the fuel filter and forward feed line using those fittings. Am I correct?

Don't know if it's helpful, or not, but this pic shows one. Shows what you need. The line coming off the inline (right) is the one that used to go to the filter.

That would be the pump that comes with the RADIX. MagnaCharger may would sell you their pump setup, you would get all the lines that they have for it too if they would. Might be worth a try.

on my last truck i put the pump in after the filter, i just cut the line about 2" after the filter and then about 1' or so farther forward and put the pump right inline, no looping at all but it wont work like that on a reg cab. seem like i had to but some rubber line and clamps and a relay.

There is next to no room on a reg cab ... I noticed this when I crawled under mine to put the pump on. I even had to custom make a bracket. I got a piece of flat iron and just cut a ~6" piece to mount the pump on since it would have been to crowded to put it on the frame rail.

'Custom bracket' sounds harder than it really was. Once it dries up, I'll get a picture if you want one.

Parish, Im sure your situation may be different, but when I first put the 225 shot on I only had 32lb injectors, stock fuel other than that. My first time to the track it would die on me after nearly every race. It wound up being my fuel pressure was dropping so low it just would die. I put an inline fuel pump in and it has ran fine after that. Do you have a fuel pressure gauge on this truck?
