Made it to the Dyno last Friday. I'm pretty satisfied, I'm saving for a cam and stall. Going with the FRP Tomahawk cam or the mark 82. Undecided . My upgrades are in my sig.

Spring for a set of either Mickey Thompson or Nitto's drag radials ,then launch off dead idle.The convertor flashes higher launching off idle then foot braking it to 1600 and then flooring it. What's your mph through the lights,as those power numbers should put a 3.92 geared regular cab into the 12's even in PheonixI run a consistent 13.8. that's full weight (tailgate, tonneau cover, me (fat). I think there's more in it as I get better at launching. My personal best is 13.6. I have some nitto 420v's and they seem like they want to hook, I just have to figure out the best way to send it. I've been trying revving up to about 1600rpm and it seems to be working
Come on Nick,you know he doesn't need a 95mm TB,it won't do squat for him,other then lighten his wallet.Throttle body is always the last thing you do,and even a cammed 5.7 doesn't show much benefit from a bigger TB.The only way a bigger TB shows a gain,is if it's an airflow restriction,and a N/A 5.7 that might at best see 6300/6400 rpm,the stock 251 throttle body is more then adequate,hell the 6.4 SRT and Scatpacks use the identical throttle body the 5.7's do, to produce 485 hp.Plus there's not enough meat in the 6.4 manifolds opening to port match a 95mm throttle body to the manifolds inletnice numbers!
If you want to bump them numbers up a little we offer the massive 95mm throttle body from Granatelli

Let me know if you have any questions about it
I'll check my slips, for speeds tonight. As far as launching, I'm usually putting it in 8, turning off the traction control, and going at 1600. I'll try that from idle you mentioned. I'm hoping to order my wheels soon.Spring for a set of either Mickey Thompson or Nitto's drag radials ,then launch off dead idle.The convertor flashes higher launching off idle then foot braking it to 1600 and then flooring it.

f you're not tuned,launch with it in 3rd,let it make the first 2 shifts on it's own,then manually make the 3/4 shift at 6,000,and the 4/5 shift at the same rpm.If you're tuned,hopefully your tuner should have your shift points moved up to 6,000 or 6100 with the stock camI'll check my slips, for speeds tonight.

The engine might be tuned,but his 8 speed might not be.The 8 speed has it's own internal computor,totally seperate from the engines putorHe's hitting 6100-6200 rpms on that graph. That's not stock tuning
Got the cam installed. Went back to the Dyno today. Same shop. I was only looking forward to breaking 400. So I'm happy with the results.

Pretty much the build I'm gonna do on my 4th gen 8spd. Looking forward to 1/4 mile times to see the real world results. I'm gonna guess a high 12 second pass (12.7-12.9).Got the cam installed.

So far, I've run a 13.05@105, but my tires aren't adequate. I'm working on that now.Pretty much the build I'm gonna do on my 4th gen 8spd. Looking forward to 1/4 mile times to see the real world results. I'm gonna guess a high 12 second pass (12.7-12.9).
