[/QUOTE Hi Vinnie, I need your help. I'm going to race my truck at Cecil and want some advice. I went 11.28 @ 121MPH the same day you went 10.76, which I personally witnessed and drooled over. I ran that number with stock heads and stock cams, and the 3.5 inch upper pulley on my KB blower. I've got a 3 inch pulley coming in the mail, and would like to know what size slick you ran ' cause I think I'm running out of gear with my 28 inch Hoosiers. I think I'm gonna have to upgrade to 30 inch slicks, what do you think V, John H.

Johnny,

that 11.28 you ran was AWESOME, but I think the 30 inch slicks were a big factor in my #s at Cecil. When I ran the 28 inchers at E-town for the 11.03 I was trapping at 5600. With the 30s I was trapping at 5350-5400.
Needed IMO to run a better #.

Vinnie,
That is awesome, all that weight, running it hot, and running a street tune on low boost and still in the 11's.
Your truck is bada$$...
