I remember the posts about it on DTW but I cannot seem to remember why the truck was so slow to begin with... It would have been nice to see them do it to at least a 14 second truck but ....

can i be the one to start a war pleassseeee ......... lets see a new style hemi beat parishs time's .
Until more tuning than a superchips or hypertech is available to us noone will even get close to his numbers. I got lucky, my truck is in FL getting a prototype setup installed by one company and a custom tune from another company that also did my cam tune. (Sorry I can't say anything more I had to sign a couple nondisclosure agreements to do this) I've talked to Jim about Megasquirt and he put me in touch with someone that has offered to help if the final tune I get down south doesn't do what I want. Been talking to a LOT of manufacturers and it looks like next year we (Hemi) should see some good aftermarket support.
(We can get custom pistons and heads but the connecting rods, push rods, forged crank, etc aren't available; we need a good head gasket that can handle more than 15 pounds boost- not available, and the most important piece of the puzzle- the tune - not available. Hopefully some day I'll be able to make 3/4 the power Jim's making.

It was a 2x4 right?!?! You would beat a similar modded 4x with your sig time.
