Pretty straight forward Roots style SC. I am sure they are a good product. There will be a lot more expense associated with it vs nitrous.

I am a little worried you don't know what your compression is. You wouldn't want to stick that on top of a 11:1 + compression motor.

Personally, I wouldn't change anything until you get your current setup to hook. With a truck, you are going to need a lot more then just a set of drag radials to get it to hook with spray or a SC.

I would visit this site...

www.calvertracing.com and look into a set of Caltracs. Plus a set of RS9000 shocks for the rear.

With the numbers your posted, you should be able to get that truck into the mid 11's with just some tuning and hooking.

Thanks for the link. I already have traction bars and shocks though. The last time i went to the track my Dr's had about two more runs left in them if i went easy on the burn out. So it was my fault didnt hook. i was gona try again but had timing issues and had to shut it down. The last run i made was 12.1 without hookin.

But now i have another set of problems. The truck wouldnt start so i changed the plugs and tried to start it and nothing. I checked to see if i was gettin fuel and it didnt smell like fuel. Checked my fuel cell and it is half full of water. ****!!!! Now i have to bleed all the lines and get a new fuel cell.

Ahhh man that sucks !!!

So does it hook with slicks??? I think Vortec Heads would be a good upgrade. No where near the gain of Squeeze Juice though.

it hooked before a 70lb weight reduction and a bigger fuel pump and fuel lines. i'm sure if i give the tires a good heatin they should grab.

Put that 70 lbs back in j/k

Fix that timing issue before anything else... And find out your compression ratio
Also, vortec heads would help a lot ( you said you did everything possible for max power NA! )

pretty much. besides one or two little things, better heads is the only other N/A modd i see.

No matter if you go giggle juice or a blower... Your truck will benefit from the better flowing heads

i have ported double hump heads now. how much would i gain from vortec heads?
