probably gonna be around 16 seconds if your lucky, your 60 ft times is what tells you alot and if your not gonna leave under any boost its not gonna be the greatest

thats the old saying (money = speed) but dont worry you will get the bug and be hooked on it. i have $1500-$2000 in mine and theres no ricers in Ada, Ok that will run with it. if your on a budget like me talk to the vinders on this forum and they will hook you up with any thing you might want for your truck. HAVE FUN

i know dont know jack crap about transmissions. i can put them in and take them out but thats as far as it goes for me. triple disk converter, valve body, billet input, bands and lever wouldnt hert. i did a suncoast converter triple disk. the rest is stock. its just looking for a place i die. how much power you going for.

go down the forum to what ever your truck fits into and those guys they can take care of that for you, and offer any advice.

upper 16's to low 17's The tranny makes ALL of the difference. You can hang 1000+ HP on that truck. If you cant get it too the rear wheels...it doesnt count. The MAJORS are a GREAT converter, valve body, and BILLIT input shaft.
