Only made 1 run but didnt have enough nitrous, should have filled but before i went to the track.
Runs
60'- 2.100
1/8- 9.48
Speed- 71.08mph
Its pretty exciting staging next to a 5.0 mustang and being able to blow the doors of off it. I am ordering the edelbrock intake, heads, cam, and headers. I am also going to swap out the stock suspension and get some hoosier slicks, hopefully ill get into the 7's so i can add a role cage!!!

HI!... Those are some good times for your year truck. Your 9.48E.T in the 1/8 would be a 14.78E.T in the 1/4 mile.
I've got a "99" F-150, reg-cab, shortbox, stepside. Built 5.4 in N/A trim. Made 354RWH.P and 392RWTQ with 8.42:1 compression and NO tune. Last time to the track I ran 13.60E.T on 7 cylinders. Found out later I broke a compression ring in cylinder #5. On all 8 it should of run around a 13.1 - 13.2E.T. 60FT was 1.83 on NITTO drag radials. 0 - 60MPH is around 4.5 seconds.

I now have a new transmision, got the new engine dialed in a lot better. So if I can get to the track with say only 10 gallons of gas, and running better, I bet I can run a high 15 second run
