Talking Looks like I am a dyno queen....

With 448 hp to the wheels, I should be a looking at 12s with the right setup. But.....

With no traction (2.81 60 ft-street tires) and no top end (no gearing, no nitrous, and no throttle linkage mod) I ran an awesome 15.72 at 85 mph

My only high point was the 77 mph 1/8th mile, which indicates the potential of the truck. I also found out the rig doesn't like altitude, as it hit 1,600 on the pyro, and the turbo started surging at about 50 psi Guess I better hook up those wastegates and nitrous.

Jason, you need to throw a 47rh and some slicks in your truck and call it a day! 12.56 or 627 rwhp are the numbers to beat!
