Hey St Luis.....just keep in mind what that nitrous hit is going to do to your tranny. Be ready to spend some more money!

If I dont wussy out next Sat @ NMRA, I plan on hitting the Eaton with a 150 Shot and see what happens 
???
V, YOU ARE BRINGING THE FLAT BED RIGHT
There's A LOT OF THINGS that need to be done in order to go for tens on a consistant basis, just the 15" Bogarts, front and rear suspension work, tall slicks, skinny's, bars, loop, roll bar, proper cooling mods, and tuning, can cost you a good 6K without even talking Motor and KB. Sure you can do it without it, (I hope to in the Fall), but to do it often and consistantly you really need to have it all....
There's much more to it than most think, and at some point YOU WILL cross over the line and give up the factory Comfort, Looks, and Handling. For those doing it, it does appear no money was spared in the building of it, for others like me, I DONT WANT TO cross that line, most still running Eatons prob feel the same way. BUT I STILL PLAN ON TRYING......

Hey Whip 
I dont race in the summer, (making an exception next weekend) But the trucks been running awesome Thanks.
The only issue I've had is burning of plugs, (4 sets down already in like 1500 miles). It's been a tuff balancing act managing the boost levels I'm running (remember I like to run the same tune for the street and track),
and on the street with pump gas, it's a tad too agressive. But we're there now I believe.
Short version, by far it's running the strongest and best it ever has.

Anyone running a built motor with a ported eaton sc is less than $1000 away from running in the 10 sec range. It is that easy with modern tuning technology.
N20 with proper tuning and slicks and your there.
