Thats correct , I was just making a point about how much power you will need to make , but everything else is goes with it , fuel pump , fuel pressure , and most importantly how much will the eco hold in power.
Instead of turning the boost up higher then what the fuel system will support its better to spray the truck with a stand alone fuel system .
My nitrous build should be done by the end of next week.

I've done a little bit of nitrous in my old 96 Impala 
As the turbos with a tune are at the ragged edge of efficiency according to what I'm reading I like the idea of adding nitrous for additional power but I don't like the idea of refilling the tank. Of course a 50 shot lasts a TON longer than the 175 shot that I was using in that car.

Definately the cooler weather will help make some more power and good times , but for a 5500# truck to run 11.90s it will need to make like 680rwhp . Dont think the motor will do that unless rods and pistons go in , and much bigger turbo's . I think that 13.20s with the stock motor and turbo's can be reached with maybe drag radials to improve the 60ft .
Either way its damn impressive that a v6 5500# truck can run that.
