You better be doing better than low 13s/high 12's w 500+ horse in 4300lbs
Lightnings w 400hp and 4400lbs are low 12's

i'm trying not to set my expectations too high, that way i am not dissapointed and i figure my truck has the wind resistance of a peice of plywood so that's not going to help along with all the unsprung weight of 33x12.5 tires

and i will let you know about the gas mileage since it's still got to be my daily driver!

and i will be spinning it to 7500 rpms when i get a harmonic damper to support it and pushrod guide plates i had it up to six grand yesterday and wasn't watching the speedo but my buddy said i went from 0-85 in about 50-75yards
