Stewart, since only YOU care about this, just forget about the ORDER because it's NOT really in order of anything unless you have a list of WHO signed up before and after you did.
You don't really care if you have seniority or however it's spelled and this is not ebay so you don't need your feedback.
Dump the profile and get a new one and don't look back. Go ahead, this is NOT a forum, it's a friggin adventure
Just FWIW, My bone stock 2000 V10 2WDwith 3.73s and with some tools in the back and nearly full tank of fuel went 17.0 in the 1/4. I could feel the tires pulling on the track so if I had lined up outside the groove and with a little less fuel, it would easily been in the high 16s. Fairly respectable for such a heavy pig. I don't think it would take much to get into the high 15s with a V10. Beyond that I don't see the point. Go for diesel if you really want a fast truck.
Shi*, I'll give you my phone number so you can call me for moral support when you start having all that ANGST! DO IT MAN! Remember Monk's brother that LEFT the house, YOU CAN DO IT TOO!
It's the first in a lot of baby steps. Do it man! You'll feel soo much better afterwards..
Actually, I'm being serious..do it..

Jay, what speed did you get your truck up to in the Qm? I was at Norwalk race way and the best time i got was 17.5 @80 MPH With 10 gallons of fuel. Bone stock V-10 with 33's and 3.73

Sounds about right (actually pretty good) considering the weight of those 33s combined with the effective less gearing will hurt you. Mine was the same speed. 17.0s at 79 mph. It barely got into 3rd gear. Stock size tires.
I have yet to put my truck on a dyno or time it, but i can leave a good 40' of black marks when i do a burnout. I've seen it go well over 110 mph on my GPS. I'm thinking of hooking up to a sled at the ATS event to see what this Cummins can do. Unfortunately, i'm still shifting my auto manually, no computer to shift it for me. That is a great affectation on my acceleration. With this heavy truck, i'm just hoping it will run under 15 seconds in the quarter mile.
Guys with 6.0 Excursions with a tuner, exhaust, and intake were in the high 13's on the diesel stop. That's moving pretty fast for a 8,000lb suv!
Most people say a 7.3 forged rod motor is good for 400hp every day all day long. If you push to 500hp you will even with a forged rod motor have problems. Add propane or nitrous and you just doubled your chances of problems.
