Yep, it's a cool truck. The numbers are already impressive considering everything. 18-20 pounds of boost is going to make the truck really shine.

Cool, what do those trucks weigh? I have similar numbers, with a little more torque. I haven't made a full pass yet, but at 4800lbs, I'm hoping to squeak into the 11's.

How cool is that though...10/11 second street driven pick up trucks?????????

I can't wait to see that thing put out numbers close to 600 rwhp and 600 rwtq.

A reg cab standard box (he has the flareside thing) is 4225 pounds.

Just made a blown 91 Stang look stupid on the highway. It took a little longer than I would like. Looks like I need more boost.

Ya now all I need is for Don to get a few day free so he can throw the drive shaft loop on, the wideband 02 and get a real tune in there. Then we will be racing
