<< I manually shifted the RT at 5300 rpm. I hit the rev limiter on this run
 between the 1st and 2nd shift. I may have even run a litle quicker.
 Overall I am pretty happy about the run. I think once I get the
 supercharger dialed in it will go faster. I don't go to the track much but
 I might start soon. I also weigheds the truck with me in it and it weighed
 exacly 4300 pounds. Subtract my 230 and the truck weighs in at 4070 with a
 quarter tank of gas.

I went to the track last night also, only to have Dodge's stupid fuel rail
fitting blow fuel everywhere halfway down the track. My 1/8th mile was 9.4 @
78 mph and my 1/4 mile was 15.4 @ 59 mph (heard the truck lean out and
backfire ... oops)

I would of figured your truck would embarrass mine as it's lighter .. I'm
still using the stock ignition components with the exception of a Crane BTM,
are you? ... maybe the cam makes the difference?
