Common rail I guess? There's definitely more to be had from my truck, but at this point there is no reason to do anything with it except drive it. Oil leaks have plagued it and so have boost leaks. It will be back on the track next year probably..

What's your truck weigh Travis? I'm gonna start building the superduty motor I have this weekend to drop in mine. Gonna rebuild, stud, push rods, redo stock charger, and get a t500. Put a gt4202 and 238/100's this fall. Then I'll be down to run with you

4wd is legal right?

Travis, try puttin some slicks on that sucker...about 12lbs of air so the sidewalls will wrinkle...but hold on...cause something may snap on the launch. I am not sure, but I will bet the Tech crew will not let you run it without a driveshaft safety loop and a tranny blanket and some sort of scatter shield. But it is worth a try. That should bring ya down to the 2.0 60 ft time....and the MPH will increase as well. Let me know.

14.4 is very respectable though....I would be quite happy if I could get mine to run that number.....well for a little while anyway. Real hotrods are "NEVER" finished.....lol

I can't wait until I can afford bigger injectors. Anyone know how big stage 3 singles usually are? Im hoping for something like 250/100 I wonder how much it'd be to have jim upgrade mine and use the same nozzles. Do you guys think my van turbo would handle injectors that big or would I need them detuned until I can get a t4 mount and turbo. Stage 2s aren't big enough lol

Sam, I've got my 10" wide wheels for some slicks already. Not going to try slicks until I don't need to DD the truck. Im scared of major parts breakage. I'm sure that would get me to the 13s though. Oh and I'm sure my boy Cody has me covered on a driveshaft loop. Haha

Justin, my buddy Austin is running 238/100s in his SD. Runs real good, but the van turbo didn't seem to like it much. He ditched that pretty quick, but you can detune till you can swap turbos.

Well guys I had my eye on a GT4294 turbo to buy tonight for $800. Somehow ended up buying gears, bearings, upgraded axle shafts, and a Detroit locker for my F150 instead. LOL

I don't, but I know a few guys that pull a little. Cody(RubberDuck) built a dedicated OBS puller and hits quite a few pulls with it.

Travis, that is a good deal.....But I guess the other equipment was needed more?

I am sure you will get a few passes out of it before major parts breakage occurs....then again, it may only take 1 really good start to snap something.
