Well I heard it was 150 hours and I'm past that now and no, I didn't feel any big power gain. I was hoping what I read was true but in my case, not much happened. Were the conditions the same when you made the runs? Weather could account for the difference in times. I think the weather did hurt me by about .3 but I'm not positive, the head wind didn't help either.

I just saw a Truck Trend mag yesterday while grocery shopping, they had a Lightning vs SRT10 shoot out. I didn't read the article but I saw the performance numbers and they were (if I remember correctly).
SRT10, 0-60 4.9, 1/4 mile 13.3 (don't remember mph)
Lightning, 0-60 5.3, 1/4 mile 13.8 (again, don't remember mph)

Well, I didn't noticed an "all of the sudden" increase in power. The weather was about the same.

Congrats Jim!

Hopefully by the time you're ready to drive up to Sacto I'll have my truck ready and get out there myself. I know people are dying to see some #s out of my kit as am I.

And yes, Jim is right. Infineon Raceway is generally 2 10th slower than Sac. God I hate that place!

There's a local guy with a KB on his L along with a fully built motor and a huge shot of nitrous...I think a 250shot.
