Ahhh, but I got a secret weapon, and I ain't gonna say it's Todd's tank chain that will be hooked to your rear axle just before the light turns green.
Just keep lookin in your rearview mirror for the guys sneakin up behind you, and/or it will be all over in a blink of an eye. lol
It has to be the 21st because danlee's got a wedding to go to and he might not let me have his truck again. hehehe

I never put my truck on a track, but I am sure it will turn in the 12s, to get into the 11s it may need some traction improvement. There has been some talk at Delrods about a trip to Delmar at the invitation of the Cheswold Ford Connection.
My truck is still at the shop for the exhaust work. I need it back soon, so I can install the EFI setup and be ready for next Saturday 4/14, when Delrods has their opening Cruise.

Charlie, check out this post by danlee. That is his motor referred to in the article in Ford Muscle Magazine.

'A great example is this fuel-injected 434 stroker that was just recently built by TMeyer inc. and shipped to Ford enthusiast Dan Lee. It will be fitted into his 1953 F-100"
My mistake it is a 53 not a 56.

I got my EFI all plumbed and harnesses connected today. Tomorrow I'll plug in the computer and check the wiring.
I have a new Innovate LC-1 Wideband, and a DataQ datalogger. I want to connect that and monitor and log the A/F ratio. I also have a GM 1bar pressure sensor. I plan to connect that to my manifold vacuum and feed that into the datalogger, so I can log the manifold vacuum. Between the manifold vacuum logs and the Mass Air logs, I can compare the motor output to my Dyno runs.
I need to get that done tomorrow, so I can get to the Delrods Cruise at Greentree tomorrow, if the creek don't rise!
