Welcome to the list, Tom!! I'm sure you're about to get hit with a
slew of questions, so I'll try to keep mine as short as possible and not
duplicate what anyone else has asked already... :-)

I've been trying to find the best way to go with the heads; so far, it
sounds like having someone port them is it; do you mind if I ask how much
$$$ that port job was?

Cams are still a black magic to me; that's an area where I could really use
some education, so this might sound stupid, but I'm assuming you went to Comp
Cams
with the specs and they made one just for you? (I assume that costs extra?)
Where did you come up with those cam specs? Is that a "nitrous grind"?

Wow, that thing really hooks up!! Do you run the juice right off the line?
(oops, I think someone else already asked that.) :-) I can't believe how
quick your truck is on the motor alone! I've seen Daks with superchargers that
couldn't touch that time! Great job!!!

Hey Gene, don't you live in Baytown?? :-)
Tom, is your truck a regular or club cab? (If regular cab, short or long bed?)
Any idea what the race weight is?
Thanks in advance for any answers you can provide! I'm only in the mid 14's
now,
but I hope to add a Nitrous Express plate system on top of the MPI manifold
soon; my eventual goal is an 11, but maybe now I'll have to shoot lower? ;-)
Again, welcome to the list; I hope you'll be able to glean as much info
from us as we're trying to get from you! ;-)
(PS: You've gotta get that thing up on the DragTruk page!) :-)
