Why ?

I did not. For stock and mildly modified power levels, and daily driving, the frame will hold up fine. If I was going to be doing more mods (tuning, injectors, turbo, and up), and launching at the track, I would box the frame. But over two years with mine and its just fine.

A set of injectors, a set of DV's, and a set of compounds should get you there. You might even get away with a big single since you have a cam. You've got a pretty good engine to start with.

With just the pump tuning done, I could stay right with low to mid 14 second trucks from a roll. My launch would hurt me in the 1/4, I've really toyed around with the idea of a full billet auto, but I have other priorities right now. I'm pretty sure the injectors dropped me down to be able to run 13's in the 1/4, its alot more fuel. Once I get a new turbo and bump my timing, I see low 13's to maybe high 12's if I had an auto and good launch.
