Yeah thats my problem. I tend to push things to the limits till they break Lo L. It was the last run of the day and the addrenaline was gettin to me My previous run was 14.20 launchin around 12psi. But that intermittent fuel pressure problem reared its ugly face. It truly doesn't launch as hard as I was expecting. No wheel spin or hoping, just got up and went! The 1056 is a little more loose than I like but I think it favors the higher boost. We'll get sleeves here soon enough

15.1 couldn't launch b/c i dont have traction bars yet and i have an open diff w/ 2wd. LoL. should be able to get fairly low into the 14's with a more drag strip friendly clutch, bars, and a detroit locker w/ either toyo proxes or slicks.. LoL. currently the truck doesn't stop wrapping the the axle til almost 1/8th mile

Last Time I Dragged my truck was last summer and did a 16.1@88MPH .131 R/T and 2.65 60' That was with just an EZ and my 100hp injectors and stock clutch. I was hoping to run it at truck fest with all my new mods but some electrical issues reared their head so I left my truck at home and spectated instead.
