Congrats Paul.....Welcome to Club 12 :rockon:

Thanks Kat...I'm still grinning from ear to ear...

I actually ran my first 12 sec run Wed. night at Gulport Ms. a [email protected] but was unable to back it up as the humid night air slowed conditions...

at least this time at the Baton Rouge Event, I was able run a [email protected] and then back it up with a [email protected]

is he still not running a lift pump?

I'm running Dual Laing D5 strongs now

I think he got one but I'm not positive. I know he spoke with Pat a month or so ago.
Yes I did... Pat was very helpful:)

geesh...long story...I thought everyone knew by now...Went to suncoast open house...dyno'd...on way home(or possibly on the dyno) bent or sheared the cam pin and the truck started fogging diesel out the exhaust pretty bad 40 miles from home...

I already had two bad injectors and another possible blown head gasket, so the cost of injectors plus doing gaskets and replacing the camshaft (if nothing else internal was hurt) didn't out weigh swapping in a used 04' with only 79k mi.

I will rebuild the other one stout over the course of the next year or so...haven't torn into it to see what really went on yet...

Oh crap. Didnt know that happened. Only Suncoast GTG mishap I heard about was TJ's injector fiasco.

Looks like you made the right call installing that 04 motor, though. Congrats!
