Depends what else is done to the truck, what truck it is, DA, and many other factors.
I have no doubt this will get a regular cab short bed at a good track with good weather into the 12's with supporting mods.

I wanted to change it up some
Haven't ran the saleen up that high on the dyno(i need to get it dyno tuned). I will say though with the vortech I saw well over 500hp on the dyno, but backed it down while on stock long block. Knowing what I know now I would have kept it at 475-480rwhp on pump 93 and it would have still be pretty safe.
With sticky tires(drag radials/slicks) at the track, the positive displacement blower will be faster in a relatively stock truck due to getting off the line with a low 60'. On the street the Vortech would dominate and did dominate. A light spin, and it would hook and go. I can't name how many lightnings I raced and just straight up dominated for this reason.
The Vortech I also noticed better MPG around town and on the highway over the positive displacement.
The Vortech kit is also much much much easier on driveline parts then the positive displacement. I went years with no trouble of the vortech, within a few months of the saleen I hade to replace my flip kit 3 times already, i'm about to junk it and just do a different setup.
