WELL....ALL I CAN SAY IS I AM RUNNING 15.05 @88.3MPH AND 0-60 IN 6.44 SEC WITHOUT THE
HEADERS, FANCY IGNITIONS, AND PERFORMANCE JTEC. TRACTION IS THE KEY. OPENING UP YOUR
EXHAUST AND LOSING THE NECESSARY BACK PRESSURE IS A BIG MISTAKE. UNLESS YOU ARE PORTING
THE HEADS. 500.00 IS TO MUCH TO SPEND ON A TENTH IF YOUR LUCKY IF NOT LOSING THE TENTH.
NOTICE MY MPH IN THE QUARTER......MY MOTOR IS FALLING OFF ON THE TOP SIDE AND IT WAS 83
DEGREES OUT WITH 95% HUMIDITY. WHAT THIS GENTLEMAN IS SAYING IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE.
CONCENTRATE ON TRACTION AND KEEPING THE MOTOR COOL AND NOT ON JACOBS CRAP AND MSD FOR
STOCK APPLICATIONS. JUST ASK BILL. HE SAW ME RUN MY TRUCK !!!
