Call and talk to Brian at Black Widow Diesel, He is one of the biggest TN dealers in the country, gets some of the best prices and will be there for any issues. I think he is the only one to offer the .84 housing too.

You should be running mid-high 15's, low 16's at highest with 4wd powerbrake, boost-launch technique.

15s or 16s? my dads (my old truck) 2004 cummins bone stock while spinning ran a low 16 i believe a 16.1 exactly. so your saying I need an upgraded turbo,chip and exhaust to run with a stock cummins?? cause before i sold it to him i installed a diablosport programmer and intake and it ran dead even with his 13.0 camaro. i cant beleieve it would take all of that to run that slow. i know its a heavy truck and stuff but t seems like a waste of money to spend thousands of dollars on intake,turbo,chip,exhaust just to be able to run with a honda civic with a 7" exhaust tip lol.

Anther vote for Black Widow Diesel for the place to buy the TN setup. Brian's always been a nice guy on the phone and when I've met him in person. He's given me some great customer service too.
I've got the TN intercooler and am 100% pleased with it's performance.

I remind you that we are basically running on 1994 technology still.

It depends on the year. If you are running against a comparable year truck, a 1992-1998 is not hard to beat, 1998-2002 are a little harder to beat, but the new CR trucks, i would think twice about racing one if i even saw guages and a fat exhaust tip.
