I took it to Ardmore raceway 1/4 mile track in southern Oklahoma. I might add that i was
running a stock transmission & TQ converter at the time and power puck. I now have a triple disk suncoast converter and the quadzilla zxt+. Thanks for your info, it is much appreciated

i haven't ran it yet with the new stuff on it, but i'm thinking it's not much faster. The
injectors a turbo upgrades should fix that problem.

I like my setup, but would go with a lil smaller exhaust housing on the turbo. The thing tows well egt's stay down. yesterday pulling the 30' gooseneck home with 2 horses etc up our 10% grade never went over 1100. I wasn't driving and think they would have been better if she would of built some boost. But never have a problem with heat. You could even go with a 58mm turbo it's a good size upgrade from stock. Just depends on the budget.
