Thats pretty impressive, Do you remember how much it weighed?
Thank you!! I'm really hoping that it will be stout and as reliable as a performance engine could possibly be. I live about an hour south of Sioux City
Thank you!
It's loosing weight every where It can and still be streetable, too many good times have been had to commit it fully to a race vehicle, nothing more than some after work cruises and weekend action though. which has added a level of complexity to things. But nonetheless itll get there.
Ponci's daughters truck is a MONSTER I love that thing.
The injection pump is the big variable in the equation. Its going to be little while yet before the new pump parts get finished up, so for now im gonna use the 12mm pump that i've tinkered with a little bit. I just want to get out on the track start making some passes and having a little fun for awhile. That'll get my engine broken in and then I can add some fuel to the mix!
So much badassery, the gray and white is my favorite paint scheme
Sooo I got a wild hair and after a short but productive chat with Drew at D&J Precision Machine, Decided to make a little change in the pistons department. Im going to have them build me a set of their FSR pistons for my rig! Overkill for now but ill be needing them before long.

Not right off hand. We found a lot of issues in the transmission. It was trashed. It would have had a 6.99 or faster pass with a fresh transmission.

Gonna have to go ahead and jump in on this one for updates.
My son went 13.30's with a 14MM rockentech, hazy 5x18's, 5500lb first gen, 47rh, hx35over HT3B. He ran in 2wd as we were not sure how much the dana44 front would hold. We later boosted to 20psi in the mud with it on launches so we may head back to the drag strip with the little truck sometime and see how it does in 4x4.
The VE just won't fuel enough at higher rpms. Plan on making all your power from 2000 to 4000rpm and you will be fine.
What xfer case do you plan to run?
I love the truck by the way!!!

Drivetrain
I had a factory Dana 60 front and ran 29 spline 205 behind my 47re and launched at around 28psi without any issues.

VE
What was your mph? Seems like you could be low 12s with that setup. But not launching in 4 explains that I suppose.

$$+VE=NO HP
