It IS a 12 second (NA) truck. The 2400 stall converter is hurting me. A
3500 is more inline with the motor. The tonneau, tailgate, shock settings
and street tires didn't help either ;-)

Look for an 11 (or better) out of it this weekend. TnT tomorrow, and a
private track rental invite on Saturday. Racing season in FL is here.
