Usually 2 tenths behind for me. Abes truck seemed to be right on the nose. I cant say however Ive actually used it at the track. Abe did and when i went through his QM runs, he said they were exact.

Why what did you get Gary 13.8-13.9 @ about 90mph?
Ha...Ha... very funny.

I was showing low 12's@ 105-107, 1.7ish 60's, and 0-60 in the 3.6ish range on a few good passes. I was going from 0-110 then letting off. It was able to get 5 good passes a few weeks back. It had a slight down hill and going the other way I was a bit slower.

the L35 are sitting in my garage. It will wait till the winter. I am having to much fun driving my truck. I put more miles on it the past 2 weeks then I did in 8 months.
Right now I am running 15lbs. That night I pushed it to 20.5 lbs with only 1-2* of Kr at the shifts. Still felt like it was not 100%

WINTER!! in San Jose, don't make me laugh :rotf: too late

Glad to see your enjoing the truck, when you say it's not 100%, you mean like it's not running perfect or not making 100% power?

I can sometimes see the snow from my house on the hills. Just because it rains 250 days out of the year where you live. I will wait till my x-mas bonus to pay for the head swap.

More like 364 days, you don't think you can handle the head swap, I mean you did all the other work and there not that hard.

Q.S. said its not that hard. I did the other work and it was not that bad. I have the skills but not the knowledge to do it. I would have no problems ripping it all apart and have someone come over and install the new heads and I would finnish putting it back together. Now I have a bigger garage I think I could do it. Just finding the time and someone to help me out. Any takers...I will pay for your time of course. I just want it done once and done right. I would hate to mess it up and blow something else.

low 12s that flying, gary

The low end feels the same to me but the truck picked up some nice mid-top end power from the mods. Not sure what did it. My intake temps are way down and I got rid of that stock 95k turbo. seeing some videos of other guys trucks mine is still slow. Again I was pulling mid 12's going the other way on the road. And it was at night and my intake temps were in the high 60's at the end of the run. alky and A2A are working. Plus the fact it wascold out helped.

You need to get up to Infineon and get some real numbers. If you want to borrow my G-Tech, you can...let me know.
