Well this past Saturday I loaded up and drove a good 5 ½ hours to Atco, NJ for some XDP event. Was supposed to be sunny and 60 but instead it was 45 with overcast and mist. Finally got in around 10:30 and met up with the crew from Innovative Diesel. Awesome experience and I had a blast! All of those guys are some of the most inviting, professional people you could run into.

Atco Raceway finally got the track ready so it was go time. First run I kinda messed up. I got all excited and screwed up my launch and ran a 12.83. My fastest time before Saturday was 12.73 so I wasn’t happy. Second round and bam! New best!! 12.600 at 106.18. I am very happy with these results for only having a 1st time (no adjustments made) EFI Live tune from Innovative Diesel, a Stage 2 Comp trans from Firepunk, and a SB 62 from industrial injection (came with truck). Truck will be going into storage this week but come springtime it will be a whole different beast!



Here is a video of the 12.6 run and putting a spanking on the 6.0 with no go..:spank:

Nice Time! What's your future plans once it is out of storage?
Well at this point its nothing really out of the ordinary or exciting for this site but pulling bed to sand down and paint frame simple gloss black, s467.7, Stainless Diesel mani, ARP 425’s, Hamilton Springs, 100% over exergy’s, ATS dual pumps, GDP ladder bars, Hamilton driveline loops and possibly a snow stage 3 water/meth kit I picked up about a year and a half ago.. Still sitting in the box brand new lol.. Oh and I almost forgot! I will be using the new Fuel lab 200 lift pump. Had a ADII 165 on my 04.5 and after a while it was getting towards its last leg.. Only about 4 months of use on it. And it was noisy. I like to hear the motor, turbo and exhaust. That’s it.

Next round will be pulling the bed and cab off to paint the frame a metallic aluminum color and still haven’t figured out what color I am going to paint the engine. Also interior will be pulled and I will paint all the brackets silver to match the truck. The black dodge uses is absolute garbage.

Nice work!:thumbsup:
Thanks but at this point I really can't take credit for much of it lol.. Really gotta throw it to Gordon for doing my tuning and firepunk for putting it to the ground. All I do is floor it, hit a button and hold on lol

Yeah I forgot to check exact level but my home town track is at about 300' above sea level. On the 12.6 run it was by far my best and smoothest launch/run.

Are you saying that I should pull the head at some point or if I don't do 625's I will be pulling the head? Just trying to get it straight from my coffee-less brain so far lol

Yeah I was reading that they come out looking corroded and rusted looking.. Actually I believe it was one of your threads/posts I remember reading it.. Kind of has me keeping one eye on the classifieds for some BNIB 625's someone isn’t going to use.. Only difference on install is you have to bottom tap them right?

I wanna save money but also want quality along with functionality. $1100 certainly is harder to swallow than the $380 I paid for my 425's
