    I like it! I've always had a sweet spot for the 1st Gen L's. Is this the original stock bottom end? If so it has lasted!

    Bone stock bottom end, Everything looked good when I put the cometics on it. Only 80k on the engine. I am estimating it is making 600 rwhp with 15#. It is trapping 118mph (RPM Limited) on Original street tires. No Drag Radials. Truck weighs 4680# with me in it with a 1/2 tank of fuel.

    Fixed an exhaust leak and ran 12.0's @ 120. I wanted to get into the 11's so I gave a half a turn to the boost controller. ran [email protected] I am happy with that. It is a stone stock block. Knock on wood it holds up as it has for the past 15 years.

    It runs a Gen7 DFI setup by Job Spetter Jr. back in 2003. I have made a few adjustments since.

    When I saw the name of who tuned it I was a bit shocked, but I now see what the deal is. No intercooler though, what were the iat's like?

    I am running a powerstroke intercooler and a snow meth kit. Iat's are just above ambient, even on the dyno they droped the entire run.

    Yes it was there @ atco in 2010. I will either be running it or the mustang in true street for fun in 2011, fingers crossed.
