Here is a pic of the intake FRPP will be shipping soon:



kdanner's car has been 10.6's, mine has been 10.8's. Both in non-optimal air conditions.

BTW - the tune is very safe. I use the same tune on the street that I use at the track.

It was just a guess. I know "lean" makes power, and I have erred on the wrong side of caution in the past, just to get a few more ponies out of them.

These new 5.0's just seem to rewrite most of the rules we learned along the way as far as how to tune goes. What worked good on a 2V or a 3V does not translate out well to a new 4V.

Ya'll seem to have a pretty good handle on it though! If I ever do ditch the blower, maybe I can con ya'll into a tune.

We do OK. I think there may be a little left in the tune still. Something we will work on over the next couple of months.

I do believe the white car will be in the 10.5-10.4 range very soon. Just need a good track and some good air to get there. Still running a stock Roadrunner setup with a CJ intake. Probably next year sometime a 2013 CJ engine combo (cams, pistons, over bore) will be put together for it and I expect low 10's.

Working on a few things with my car and hope to have it in the 10.6's in the not so distant future.

Yep, that was my goal for this car. Newer, nicer, A/C, inspection, and FASTER than the 'vert. (10.8@127). Mission accomplished! Now, how about some NINES! LOL!

What are you expecting to need in order to get into the 9s?

About 750rwhp. I've got the pulley to do it now, and am going to put a fuel system in it soon. HOWEVER, I probably won't go for it until I build the bottom end though. I don't want to wreck this motor before I do the built one. I'm counting on recouping some money by selling it.

Looking forward to seeing the progress.
