i am very very happy with how it ran last night. It was an adventure all night. I pulled it off the trailer and went to tech and then pulled in the lanes. When i went to start it back up to make a pass it didnt want to start, i finally got it started and it didnt feel right at all. I went out and rolled off the line and it broke up really bad so i went to the trailer. I pulled all the plugs and they all looked fine but the passanger side back had water in it whe i pulled the boot off it. I guess condensation from the intercooler lines dripped down in their and caused a misfire. I got it dried out and went to make another pass, it was running a lot better, so i went back out and rolled off the line once more and took it easy just to make sure everything was ok and it ran great i think it was an 8.0.

This is where things got interesting. I went back after my second pass and ran ice through it and let it cool down. I used all my ice and they were getting ready to close so i went for one last pass. I told my buddy i was going to give it hell and see what it does. I pulled out on the track and did a nice long burnout and got the hoosiers good and sticky. I pulled into the first beam and started to stall it up and it started pushing it so i pulled into the second beam and pushed the ebrake to the floor. With the ebrake on i held the brakes and brought it to 2000 on the last yellow light i pulled the ebrake and smashed it. i thought i was going throught the back window it left so hard. When i passed the board i was all pumped up when i seen my time.

I never thought it would ever run this fast with just the 4lber and a 2.8. My next move is suspension, i am going to do front drag springs, qa1's, fiberglass leafs and front bogarts to match the rear. And slip a new billet grill and a clear set of lightning headlights to dress it up a little. I am going to leave the boost where it is for right now and see what i can do with this combo. I think i might go and get a tune with c16 just to get a little more powa out of her. I called my tuner last night and he was blown away it ran that fast with less than 400 miles on the motor. I will get some pics of the truck with her dancing shoes on and the slip tonight. My camera was dead when i got to the track, go figure. Thanks for all the coments
