Finally got the truck back to the dyno last night, I'm more and more surprised by this SXE88, we made 12 pulls, ended with a best of 1081hp at 18psi. Injectors are loving life, duty cycle is 72% so there is fuel for around 1200. the air to water cooler is working great, highest intake temps were 81* track next weekend, finally. :thumb: this is a stroker 416CI, and a th400. Truck weighs 3420lbs.

What kind of torque did it put out ? Any guess as to what kind of ET ?

Torque was just over 950, we ran the tests to 7000rpm because the turbo loves the rpm, but the camshaft starts falling off peak power past 6500 or so. For a big cube 6 liter, the cam is very mild. The best pass to date was 10.12 @ 141, at 815rwhp and 3650lbs. If it traps 150mph, I'll poop my pants. I need to get my nhra license first though.

Dang almost as much torque as HP . So the truck went on a diet and picked up 200+ Hp . It may very well hit that 150 MPH . Good Luck Sweet Setup .

Best pass of the day was 10.15 @ 141. 1.75' 60 foot. track was junk, prepped like ass, and way too many ricers. Had a good day though, and the air to water cooler kicks major ass.

I'm more than jealous of your race weight, about 1800 pounds lighter than mine, and I'm telling you body and frame wise there's not much else I can lose. Fiberglass is getting less worth it because my steel panels are hacked up so bad the weight drop to fiberglass is way less at this point. I bet that thing is insane to drive.

Thanks Tom. I'm just please it went A to B without one issue.

Haha yeah Jesse it's super fun to drive, I really wish I went 4wd but 2wd had so much more advantage for transmission selection and overall weight. I need to workcon the 60' which has been my struggle from day one, but it's coming around.

Best 60 of the day was 1.75 peddling it. Decent, but it's been 1.60 not even trying too hard. Tune was set to 14lbs. The mph is there, it went 114 in the 1/8.
