Went to the track tonight and my very first pass right off the street the expy broke into the 12 second zone!!

:pepper: :pepper: :pepper: :pepper: :pepper: :pepper:

Makes a difference when I can run full throttle the whole pass!! It felt great except it was breaking up at the top end. Sure this was hurting mph. May have to reduce plug gap.. Unfortunately that was not something that could be done at the track. P.I.T.A. A lot of people were coming over to check it out after it ran commenting on how hard it launched and couldn't believe a beast that size could run 12's.

What I felt was its best pass did not get recorded..malfunction in the timing equipment. :( But all in all I had a great night and it did not bother me too much. Made 3 runs in the 12 second zone.

1st pass I made I was running a mustang cobra. The driver came up to me after the pass checking out the expy. He said he thought something was wrong with his car because he could not figure out why he was not catching up to me.. LOL..

Thats amazing! Great job Tom! Awesome 60's!

Thanks! Must be a drag racer.. Most people have no clue what 60 fts mean or should be. Yes it was pulling very hard out of the hole. Specially when you consider it has tight stock expy converter and 3.55 "economy" gears. Torque!

Are you sure, they make them for the F150s which is the same motor.

The intakes are different. After a little more research last night, i did find two but they were both $5,000+. I was actually refering to factory superchargers like Toms.

So how are the Raptors supercharged? They have the 3v!

Raptors are not supercharged. 6.2l naturally aspirated

Do you have any idea what your expy weighs in at ? Can calculate hp needed. :)
