I raced mine back in October. I think it was a 16.8 with the V8 QC. I also had slowed down before the finish line because I coundn't find it. I beat the guy I was racing though. I'm going to race it again in the spring time when I get a couple of other things done.

Pardon my ignorance, but what are the times stated by DakotaStone and turbot_bird based on? Is that a measured 1/4 mile? Might want to see how my Dak does.

there is a guy over at www.dodgetruckworld.com that has a stock 05 4.7 on the bottle running 14.7, i think my set up might be a little more safer than is
