9.2 is pretty respectable man. I know how much time and effort it took to get mine to best 9.04. I just like seeing vids of trucks movin quick!!
Props for gettin this quick on a 4.7/5.7 swap
Thanks.....
My 9.14 was on a 2.33s 60' time and I trapped at almost 77 mph. The only weight reduction was the back seat and spare tire. I have no doubts it will go 8.80s or quicker on the 17" drag radials despite cast-iron manifolds and single exhaust.
It is fun to cruise around on the street in a truck that looks like like a slow stock 4.7 Ram with exhaust on 20s and then blow the doors off an unsuspecting car/truck. I pissed off a 2003ish GT Mustang in it the other day. I give my service director at work hell in his crew cab Tundra. He wouldn't let me pass him from a 70 mph roll the other day, quickly learned what 2nd gear and 3.55s are capable of about 95 mph.
My next step is to bolt in the APS 2,800 converter I have, along with 4.56 gears. I might also do some BBK Shorty's, I can get them for $285 shipped to my door. With the converter and gears I feel I can just about kiss launching on 20s goodbye. I will probably have to move up to something like the MH 325s Randy runs.
Eventually someday I will have the spare set of heads I have hanging around ported, milled, and install oversize valves into them. My goal is to be able to run 8.50s the way I drive to and from work.
