<< I have an extended cab and it probably ran about 16 or so stock. I
 never raced it before I had the flowmaster and MP SBEC, with these
 two mods my times were 15.7's. Since then I have added:
 
 SureGrip (limited slip) = 15.3's
 MSD & pulleys = 14.9's best 14.8 @ 91.6
 1.7 Roller Rockers = no improvment still 14.9's
 
 I went to the Texas MotorPlex without my MSD (died week before) and
 ran 15.2's and one 15.1. I run on 235/70's Dunlop GT qualifiers and
 3.21 rear gears.
 So as you can see Bill, the magic is in the check book. I'm sure with
 the same level of mods your truck would also break into the 14's. Of
 course with nitrous on board why bother. :) one shot of that and us
 14 second Daks are sucking wind. :(

You have it running pretty darn good, and another on the Dunlop GT
qualifiers. They seem to be a good traction tire. 5sp or auto? What year?

I still want 14's without the NOS if affordable, just think what that would
do for the NOS, 12's ? for shurrr.. I am near a plan but still researching a
little more.
