OK, I'm just itching for a new mod, but need a something that will deliver consistent mid to lower 12's.

So, got a few bucks to burn, not willing to go over $3k on the next mod(s) (so if it’s the KB, then that will have to due for awhile).

I’m currently running 12.9s, with my setup, w/slicks.

I have a great dyno-tuner (Danny Swanson), so what to do???

 

Depends what you want overall. Nitrous will make more power safely and and will be reliable if you understand the benefits and how to use them, along with being cheaper initially. A s/c will give you power on demand without worrying about bottle pressure and liquid nitrous in your bottle. Nitrous will be better for track use and the occasional street run. A S/C will give you the extra power all the time if you feel you need that. If you become a nitrous junky then refills can get expensive quickly.

 

Don't think I'll get addicted, but you never know. The L is not a daily driver, just weekends and track runs.

 

Then I would suggest nitrous. The install can be done in a day and the kit can be taken off and transfered to your next vehicle with ease along with minimal modifications to your truck. Not to mention you will get better track times if you want bragging rights. If you have any questions about nitrous I can answer them all in great detail.

Considering you have a 12 second to low 13 second truck on a regular basis , you can beat most cars on the road that you'll ever encounter, so your nitrous use should be limited and affordable. A mid eleven second truck is not out of the question with the right kit and set-up. Rob has similar mods to you and will be seeing this.

 

Why not nitrous and the KB?

 

 

I agree!!!

With the RWHP you have now you should be low 12s all day long........so maybe you should look into why your not getting them.........If your sig is correct.

 

I ran n20 and the KB with no issues, on a built block. Personally, I'd go with the n20 initially.I'd recommend using the racetested kit. I have been running the racetested kit for quite a while. I've run it in my 03 Cobra, my 5.0 coupe, and now I'm putting a kit on my Powerstroke Diesel. It's very easy to install, takes me about 3 or 4 hours with mounting, wiring, etc. I would recommend starting with 75hp jets and the wet kit. I'd progress to a 100-120hp shot and keep it there for a stock block. I'm guessing you will run mid 11's easy with that setup, if you can hook up. Racetested can supply you with the proper safe jetting and have your tuner back off on the timing some.

 

I totally agree, perhaps it's the track (Famoso, in Bakersfield, Dale ran 10.30, at that track).

 

How about the Magnum Power Blower

It will give you more power, at less money than a KB and would be safer on your stock block.

 

That's not even an option, I wouldn't spend $1,500 - $1,800 for a glorified ported blower, if I was going to change my s/c it would be for a K/B.

 

exactly what i was thinking.....always thought 430-435rwhp was good for around 12.3's

 

You're thinking the same thing I thought, but I quickly learned that on our track you need MORE!!

 

Not trying to start anything, but your TQ numbers are low.......that might be the problem. I had 418 and 550 and ran 12.3 or better every time out on Nittos.



edit: or did that happen when you ported the blower???
