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.
