Wow! Something's gotta be amiss... that's pretty much identical to my run on F1's with alot less mods. What kinda elevation are you running at?

Everything is running well. I'm on a rich program and running strong. It is really hot and humid around here so I probably won't run any great times soon. I'm waiting on the NX kit, the double bottle holder and the FRED controller. I decided not to use the NOS kit.

That sounds great! Think you are better off with the "Wet" system. I have noticed that with the head work (and the high temps) that I needed more boost to get the low end back (not on the nitrous). Have not been able to get a good run on the nitrous yet, need to go to the track with the bottle filled.

How is the new torque converter working out, after installing mine I liked how the L ran much better, even daily driving.

I like the torque converter. I lost a little low end torque I think. I don't have to worry about the nitrous bottle refills because I fill them myself.

I agree, check the tuning on your chip. With my mods and a street chip I ran a 12.0 w/ a 1.61 60' at Cecil in about 97 degrees a few weeks. I ran a 12.3 w/ a little more timing at Englishtown w/ a 1.89 60'.

I'm sure your truck has more in it. I am running a 10lb lower and 1.5 upper and the larger pulleys do help. A gain of about 1-2 tenths can be expected going from an 8 to a 10lb pulley. You get some extra heat, but the power you get down low makes up for it.

Well I am going to try some new tunning and see if that works. I also have a set of Cal traks comming so I hope I can actually launch the truck this time. I know this was one of my problems. The weather was fine in the 60's and kinda overcast. We will see if I can improve this weekend.
