Well if i had the 3200 spring in it so that i wasn't defulling just as it started to pull..........there is a lot of ET that could be shave off.

It's going to be real interesting to See what kind of a ET my truck will produce with a 12cm housing and a intercooler.

My truck really runs strong in the winter but summmer............................It just a dog above 60*


As far as David gos(BC847)...........I beleve his truck ran a 8.81

I think DAVID'S 60' times tell the story, that thing leaves hard.
my 1/8 9.89@ 73mph 2.47 60' with a blown head gasket.

I've had 2 timeslips that say 8.58 @ 82 mph in the 1/8 with the Getrag which resulted in a 13.39 @ 103.1 and a 13.34 @ 102.9.
Will be looking for 12s next spring.

GLHS, Good numbers. Are those your best 1/8 mile times ? The reason I ask is I went down the track for the first time this year only made 3 passes. I couldn't get the tranny to shift into O/D but I had some real good 1/8 mile times 8.36, 8.41, 8.86 . I was defueling at the end of the 1/4 to many rpms. Any guess as to what i might have ran if I had o/d ?

My truck is what my sig says. One turbo.

Dlittle; Your time would probably be close to mine.
If I had to guess, your auto 60 foot time is probably way better than mine which is why your faster in the 1/8. I would also guess your mph is a little slower and we would probably even out at the end.
My best 60' times are a lousy 1.94 and 1.95.
I usually gain 21-22 mph from the 1/8 mile.

H1C stock turbo w/ 60mm comp wheel
I was stuck in 3rd 1.1 no O/D stock a518 with shift kit and suncoast converter.
370 injector are from New ERA Diesel and are a little bigger then stock 5x12 they dont give a HP rating on them.

The a518 is a (4sp) auto what DLittle is saying is that it didn't shift into overdrive with his foot to the floor. It stayed in 3d (1.1) and refueled because it was trying to over rev, the eng
