Well guys I don't officially have a 12 second time slip yet but the truck is consistently running 13. 0s at 104 blowing the slicks away with only 1. 90 60ft times and spinning the 31-10. 50w Mickeys at each gear change. We are making a few suspension changes as well as a few other minor changes to leave under more boost(currently leaving at 12-15 psi)any more than that and the slicks spin on the starting line or push the front tires through the lights. Anyway there is a bright light at the end of the Ford Power Stroke performance tunnel,keep in mind the engine has been together over a year now with no mechanical problems. We are using very little propane to keep reliability but enough to help spool the turbo up. I am just running a little H2E at 42psi. We will have our changes made before Muncie so it should prove interesting.
Some will say I am just tooting my own horn but that's OK,I have worked very hard and long on this combination with absolute reliability,drivability and exceptional fuel mileage(26mpg at 75mph).
I expect to be in the low 12's before the year is out with a new BB single turbo Garrett is graciously building for me. For the twin turbo guys we will be trying out a twin BB setup in late July.
