If you still drive your truck on the street, and want to keep it that way, I would look into MPI twins or a garret 4088 or 4094.

get a cheetah and efi. you will want tie rod sleaves as well. i doubt he is 12.8. that would be one fast ford

If he's running Nitrous why isnt it possible? it is very possible hes running faster than 12.8. I say a Garrett or modified VVT Danville has a good charger

The HTT Promax is a great all around charger you can't go wrong with that one

The baddest turbo? not by any means at all. Garrett 4202 is the new "baddest turbo" as far as singles go. Look into Twins? With a "big" turbo your going to need head studs. If you keep it smaller ie Garrett GT40 turbos, Modified VVT, or HTT your going to be fine without head studs in most cases. You should look into EFI Live as well.

i didnt say that it wasnt possible. i just think it would take a little more than a sct programmer and n02

Just keep racing him.....sooner or later the head will lift off that thing and you will beat him.

Im honestly suprised your truck doesnt keep up better with your mods. Should be a low 13, high 12sec truck from what I see.

Buy EFI Live first and see where that gets you.

on level 7 on ppe and no fuel pump i ran a 13.9 in 2 wheel drive we went back and raced him tonight we put stage 3 injectors and a 200 shot of spray on my buddies 06 6 slow and we got him by about 4 trucks but this is for me now i said " your truck runs pretty good and he said how did my tailights look so now this is just more for me so i really dont care what i have to do but i know that its probably a 12 second truck but my trans can only hold about 650 so i really dont know what to do!

i got a 12.80 at 107 mph out of whats in my sig . i think i'll hit 12.6 or 7 with better 60ft . and the same truck just got done towing 14k for a week through the rockies, if you choose the right charger you can have it all , my advice is pick something with the t4 pedistall , you have many more options later down the road , if you have the money i would say twins but if not if you tow garrett 4088 if not 4094, but the htt or the bd are good chargers for the money :D
