Problem arrives when you are porting and having to allow for the pushrod on a 59 degree block. Those dakotas are heavy no doubt. 11.25 is probably a decent number for that combo. If I can help you with your nitrous problems let me know. That is what it needs. Leon Career best 8.02 @ 169 at 3050# and 10" tires small block power.

But yea, Chris at Performance Injection Equipment built it and brought it to the track for me. Good builder to work with.

Than going though the traps at 6000 rpm.my w8 goes though at 8000 with 4.56 gears.just think if your truck weigh 3000 pounds if the rule of thumb is right that's a 10.20 truck.i think if you want to make this truck fast you can but you have a light set up for nos or turbo.are you running a nos or turbo camshaft?

You have the head flow to support it Looks like a good app for spray if your not gonna spool it or pull the heads for more CR.
