Mike,
I Definitly agree about the big injectors. They wont do anything (much)
until the magic combo is found! 14.44 is a great time! I cant seem to get
my 60ft below 2.25...(15.20 E/T) My top speed is only 90.5... Im still
running too damn slow for my combination of goodies...

Hey guys,
Well just got back from Cecil drag way with my R/T Club Cab.
Did 5 runs with the new 24# injectors. First two runs were toast due
to some nut case in a Nova. We get to the bottom of the staging lane
and the Nova is behind me were on a down hill. Well this joke starts
to rev his engine like he's at the Indianapolis 500 I mean screaming,
valve floating engine popping revving. Now were not even on the line
were still in the staging lane with this guy going nuts behind me.
There was so much blue smoke from his car I couldn't see his car and
he was right behind me. Any way after about 10 seconds of this
stupidity I hear a Bap Bap Bap Bap Kapussshhh. The guys vaporized
his radiator hose with steam and blue smoke everywhere. The worst
part about the whole thing was his radiator fluid ran right
under my truck all over my rear tires. They had to shut down 2 staging
lanes to clean up the mess. So the end result was my first 2 runs went
up in smoke off the line. The next 3 runs were pretty good although I
still spun my 60' and 330 time were surprisingly good. The end result
was 14.44 @ 94.14 MPH. The injectors gave me 1 tenth & 1 mph. I
wouldn't
go with the 24# injectors until you do everything else first since I
installed them earlier with what felt like no gain. They did help now
but just 1 tenth. I'll be posting the time slips on my web site
Saturday. The injectors were Ford Motorsport SVO 24# #M-9593-A302 $250
Here's the best run:
R/T--------------.710 (Yea I know)
60'-------------2.081
330'------------5.963
1/8-------------9.234
1/8 MPH--------75.10
1000-----------12.052
1/4 mile-------14.440
1/4 mile MPH---94.14
Tailgate down, Spare on board.
