    yupp some track times but nothing worth while. Best mph was 121 on 15psi and havent been back since. No plans either to head back for some time.

    I think the OP wants something that will beat the diesel trucks around him and I'm thinkin a cam'd 4.8 with full bolt ons and a 100 shot might only put down 400 hp but will post better times at the track than the baddest 4.8 around

    id say the combo your just spoke about would suit the OP well. As for the other comment thats all in its own.
