that is not the potential of a 318. when you were getting to 50, i would already be at 70. Have you done the plenum? if not thats whats robbing you of power....Good video, but that was slow

Ya thats what i thought too, im waiting for the hughes plenum fix to get here but in the meantime im gonna do the throttle body mod this weekend with a new map sensor just for good measure. Im gonna do the keg mod when the intake is off also. I figure it cant hurt and im right there already.

Looks like someone has the death flash lol. You'll get her going faster, just do the plenum and a tuner for now.

Here's mine before I put new 2.02 heads on, my underdrives, and the shift kit. Start the timer when you hear the squeal.

At that time I had a SCT tune from hemifever, a round "CAI", fastman 50mm TB, edelbrock airgap intake, Harland Sharp 1.7 roller rockers, e-fans, shorty headers, 3" exhaust and a 4.10 ratio in the rear end.

Probably would have gained a half second if I had hooked cleanly, but it's still just a truck and generally slow as such.
make sure you lock O/D off if you do any more WOT runs, just to be safe. I should have done that with mine at the time. The OD unit can't handle a whole lot of abuse.


I think a lot of you boys would be surprised at how slow your trucks really are if you really time it. Every stock truck really starts to hang up around 3500RPM's with the stock unmodified intake on it.
