72mm vvt stock motor setup.

Once again sorry for misunderstanding James first few posts and not being clear on the question. I figured I would post the question, since I couldn't find any threads somewhat relevant to my question. After I figured that I would need a new tune to go along with the Tcm tune, then I changed my question, or restated it and got the answers I was looking for.
At post 37 I found my answer and took some time to reread everything.
Then somehow it went downhill from there...
Yes I shouldn't have posted what "I heard" because for all I know it could be a rumor.
It was my bad.

Quite while your ahead bud constructive criticism is whats being given take it at that and carry on :thumb:
I would like to know if you actually got anything useful in your head from all these people giving you good info. I could tell you everything I know and it obviously would not help. I really can't believe half these guys kept trying to help.
But what do I know.
But what do I know.
1. I don't run that tune at the strip.
2. I'm at 7100 DA
3. Have crappy track prep
If you want to give feedback on how to get into the 12's with my current setup, I'm all ears. If you have anything to say about diesel, I'm all ears.
I dont post much but your talking in circles. Back to the original post, 72mn stock motor. I ran my danville 72 with one stock cp3, bigger tips in 2wd. I ran a 12.4. No offense what else do you want? A 72 will work with stock sticks and cp3. I also pulled a camper just fine. Good luck and settle down some.
Altitude. Weight. Inexperience.
~575hp got me consistent 12.20s with a 12.14 best @ 6450lbs w/1.6x-1.7 60fts, but d/a is much better than in Utah.
I still dont understand how you guys with twins or big singles/dual fuelers/etc arent faster than that, even at 7000lbs.
That 575ish hp got me a matched set of bent rods, too....but what the hell, right? :rofl:
You'll have to drop a LOT of weight from the truck, use sticky tires and work very, very hard on your starting line procedures and 60fts in order to get a high 12 at your elevation with the tune you run. Thats the reality of your situation.

How was that 600 calculated?
I'll be honest, yes I did 596 hp with a .18 correction factor. The tunes I run at the strip are 520-530 ish, mph is 99.
Now a buddy with a 2900 us tune and s475 over stock did 13.2@105. With work on the launch he could probably break into the 12's. That's with twins though
Guys the elevation is a huge killer. Especially with larger singles than stock. Were you referring to the UT guys when you said you don't "understand how you guys with twins..."
I believe that twins work a lot better than a single in high elevations, simply because the larger charger pressurizes the air before it even enters the primary and "fools" the primary into thinking that it's receiving 15+14.1 (or whatever the oxygen density is at the given altitude) psi.
Now let me ask this. Would this work? Having an s475, s480, or s483 over the 72 just to increase the air?
Is the key for higher elevations to have a lot of air? I know some use nitrous to get the oxygen they need but that's not going to work on my truck

I ran the same mph in slc at rmr for the shootout as I did in billings the next weekend for the nhrda event so and similar times. Only ran .2 fast
