Id run the 7s even NA but thats me, maybe too cold but worth trying, need to check header temps and see how hot they get, this will allow you to run alittle leaner without issues just keep an eye on plugs, which you know
you'll get it together just gonna take some time, nicely done though for first time out! hope to see ya run again soon, give me shout when you go out again i'll make the trip

truck looked really good in person, its been along time nice seeing ya again, paint your hood lol there were like 2 other trucks like yours lmao !

i saw what i want to do with my hood at the track. i like the black bumper/grill/hood but it looks like an unfinished project. doing this would keep everything i have black as is, but not look unfinished.

i lied about the 11.72 above i was going off of memmory. 11.63 was the best and a crappy *** 115mph. i'll get it squared away. starting with a new fuel pump, new filters and new plugs/wires. i'll iron everyting out at my local 1/8 mile then take it to the 1/4 again.

That paint looks wicked! Expensive, but awesome nonetheless.

Great times for your first time out. You have a quality build and I'm sure you will get the kinks worked out soon. I need to head down south and see some of these trucks I keep drooling over.
