Figured I would give a update on this truck since I havent posted in here in a while.

Got my tranny back after a rebuild and upgrading. Installed it and it still leaked so Im sending it back. Anyway last week I realized Ennis was coming up fast and I needed to get it to some TNTs. So I decided I needed to put the tranny out of the ranger in it since it isnt going to be ready for Ennis. I got to the shop at 2:30 in the afternoon with the leaking tranny still in the truck and I started pulling it out. Had it out in a hr and a half and new one installed in 2 more. (dont ever want to change out a tranny that fast again) Loaded it up and headed to the drag strip 2 hrs away. Got there at 10 and they close at 11. I got 3 passes in that night with a tranny with basically no test driving on it. LOL anyway missing shifts and slow 60's (my fault) best I did was 13.5@101. MPH is up there but time is a little slow. That was with a 2.0 60' leaving at 10psi. 3rd pass I pulled a 1.8 60 but blew a boot. Trans mass missing a shift at half track and im sure that slowed me down alot.

yesterday I was fighting with tranny problems like this under 50% throttle

I think I got that stopped and last night I did this in my street tune.

What would you speculate the RWHP to be on that truck? I ask because I've got a buddy wanting to do compounds on his 6.0l. His RWHP goal is 700-750. I'm wondering if a Procharger and bigger single wouldn't be better. I know you've run that setup as well. Whats your opinion?
