Just an update, ran a 13.2 at 105.5 with a 2.1 60' this weekend. All I did was play with tire pressure and learning how to launch it.

Yes I'm not worried abouot this trucking being a rocket ship. It's a truck.... I have other toys to go fast in.

Love the truck. What tires did you go with and what psi you running them at. Very good time you ran.

FATHERFORD

295/45/20 General UHP's. That run was with 28 psi in the rears, 45 in the fronts.

My next pass I dropped the tires down to 26 psi and cut a 1.9 60'! Unfortunately though I still had to pedal past the 60', which then made my truck shift to second at 4000rpm and bog.. Running another 13.2 a 103.9 mph.

I plan on going to the NMRA event in Houston. Going to take my sway bar off, set the tire pressures back on my best run, install my Extang Tonneau and Hopefully Jim SR@JDM is going to tune my truck a little hotter and see if I can pull that 12 out of it

Keeping it alive....

Drop the pressure down to 20 and see what it'll do. That's what I ran my 18" F1's at.

Be careful of what you ask for with tune. While your heads make the truck capable of a lot more power than 2V L's, your eutectic pistons with high place top ring are the weak link, but any detonation will be expensive. Most relate that the stock pistons do not like to make a lot more horsepower than what you are already making. Sure Jim will will keep you safe.

Did you weigh your truck at the track with you in it? I thought the newer trucks weighed a LOT more than the L.

Again, nice truck and numbers.

Cold air intake or stock intake?
Opening up the intake anything beyond stock will greatly improve you times. If you haven't already done it you should. An air scoop mounted beneath the bumper with a 4" hose routed into the bottom of the stock air box will help tremendously and will compete with even the best of the CAI currently available. Remember any air that you can direct into the motor is that much less wind resistance you're facing. A cone filter is far less restrictive than a flat filter. If those trucks get their cold air from the drivers side fender like the previous models do then get in there with a dremmel tool and open it up as much as you can.

Valve body accumulator? Quicker shifts, better times, better for your transmission. Give JDM a call I'm sure they can set you up with something.

BTW..From what I've been reading those new 6 speed tranny's have some bugs to work out according to a lot of owners.

Good luck...

On JDM's saleen truck they claim on 12lbs and pump gas 480rwhp and they were running 12.60's at 110. This was the same tune they pull the mustang/trailer combo also. What I'm not sure of is if they had their upgraded fuel system or not. I'm running a boost a pump currently.

I know back when it was N/A, with sway bar, tail gate, spare, jack, just about anything that can be removed on a half tank a gas it weighed 4800 lbs. I'm sure with the addition of the blower, traction bars, and none of that removed it's well over 5000lbs with me in it(290lbs myself).

It's a roush/JDM intake that has a giant scoop right behind the driver side headlight. I can't tell though if taking the headlight out helps any or not.

I've thought about the valve body, It's something I need to do that's for sure.

Traction bars were made this weekend and a Extang tonneau installed last night.

Here are pictures of the roush/JDM intake. Yes my engine bay is dirty...
