No doubt the truck would have run 11.5x Saturday if the throttle wasn't closing. In similar conditions after the fuel system upgrade and pulley swap...I don't think it will pick up another 2/10, but perhaps 1/10. Maybe close to an 11.50. If conditions are better than Saturday, perhaps in the 11.40's somewhere. But it's like football you know, on paper one team should win, but you still gotta play the game, so who knows what it will actually run.

I was going to buy a set of Race Stars....like soon to help drop a little weight, but those are going to have to wait now.

Pump, injectors, and pulley got me 2/10’a on Matt’s tune, with conditions being similar. But set your sights on 1/10 so you can be surprised as opposed to disappointed lol.

I want it to go fast...but stay together. I'll admit I'm a little concerned about the bottom end, but Matt thinks there's still a margin of safety.

Definitely works we had a 12 5.0 mustang with the patch on it, running 8000 rpm. If you hit the limiter with the patch on, though, the cams will go to default position 0 for about 1 or 2 seconds, and since he had a manual, it happened to him a few times.
