3rd run I was stalling it up to 2500 but my brakes didnt hold it and the truck kind of creep to the front so I quickly let go cause I didnt wanted to redlight, and the green light came on so actually on the third one I dont know at what rpm I took off at?? thats when I ran the 14.3... I dont have the slips with me but I think it was 2.1 on the 60's...

man, i have a posi and cant launch at 2500. i can stall it up to there but as soon as i get off the brake its a smoke show. i have to keep it around 1800 to keep it from spinnin. must be the lost bottom end with the cam????

One thing you have to remember when dealing with Clear Lake Speed they have the best prices around but they take a long time to get things in. Im willing to wait a week or two extra to get something such as my new nitrous kit for 350 bucks less than any other place I have looked/called. I got all of my 418 stuff for 5 grand from them when on tbyrne it owuld have cost me 3600 just for the rotating assembly not counting heads cam rockers custom pistons and all that. So if you want a good deal but arent in a hurry call em up otherwise pay extra and buy it somewhere else. Sorry its taking so long AP. Talk to Bobby when you call, usually he knows more baout what has come in and what hasnt

Does it flash after you let off the brake and stomp it? With mine it brake stalls to 3K then when I let off the brake and stomp it, it flashes to 4K and instant 4wd drift actions follows.

You need nitrous that goes for all you guys
