By lock up do you mean the a/f readings cause mine does that from time to time, I just disconnect the power source a couple of times until it fixes it... Not sure what causes it but I only need it to run right when I data log and I haven't had an issue getting it to do so then so I can live with it.

Yea, so does mine. I'm not sure either but I think it has to do with inconsistent voltage but I'm not sure.

Lucky! Did you hardwire yours in or do you have plugged in to the outlet all the time? Do you manually connect/disconnect your OBD II port?

I got mine all routed into the ceter console... As for the power I use the accessory plug in in the center console, just had to rewire it to cut on and off with the key so I can just keep it plugged in and all I have to do is plug in the OBDII when I am ready to data log and unplug when finished. Took a while to figure out how to use it and exactly how hemifever wanted it for email tunes but now that I know I can data log and convert it alot faster.

Great minds think alike I guess... Now if I can just get my truck to run in the 10's like you I would be happy, just gotta get 12's first!

I skipped 13's and 12's all together.

Now just how in the HELL did you do that? I would assume a fully forged 408 build??? Best run I had was 14.2 but thats with the first tune from Hemifever, the 52mm F&B, and no meth... Oh and what gear ratio you running? I am still on the fence about installing the 4:56's. I would like to think between the 58mm, meth, and tune I will skip 13's and land myself in the mid 12's but I have been dissapointed a few times before, LOL!

You will need a lot more than that to skip 13's. Plan on Cam, heads, RR, TB and tune to possibly touch 12's.

I went from all bolts-ons to a full blown forged 408 with a paxton supercharger.

Maybe it's a long shot but I think I will get the 12's once I get everything installed and dialed in... Like I said the 14.2 was with the 52mm, belt slip, can tune, and no meth... Now I got slicks, rock solid 12 psi about to be 16, stage 2 Snow meth kit, 58 F&B, M1 4bbl, have always had the 1.7 Harland Sharp RR, and like I said... when the track opens back up I have alot of tuning to do to get this thing dialed in! I would like to think that I was loosing alot on the base tune cause I beleive hemifever turned my timing WAY back and was saving it for once he got the fuel right so turning the timing up should be the key here. I have everything imaginable done to the motor minus longblock and thats next, should be gunning for your times then!

One things for sure I have a SHIT load of $$$ in this thing and keep spending... All the while I am looking at my roommates '65 mustang coupe out back thinking that with the money I have spent on parts for my truck I could have tubbed/caged the stang and build a motor for spray and have been way faster for way cheaper even after I bought the car! Still might do it, this truck is a F$%KING pig compared to that car in race trim!

Is his set up comparable to mine? Whats his sceen name? Oh and maybe you can help me out, a few people have told me that if I go with the 4:56's that I will run through my power band to fast, something to do with the blower but I don't understand this so maybe you could clear it up for me? I know that I will be hitting the rev limiter before I reach the other end till I get some good springs and valvetrain that can allow me to up the limiter but just don't understand the other.

I would stick to 3.92's with the blower. I ran my times with 3.92's, going to switch to 3.55's or lower to keep the turbo happy.

Wish I had the cash for some forced induction. I've already got the 3.55's. haha

Well F-it... Between what you and everybody else both here and on the track has told me about not going to the 4:56's with the blower I beleive I will just sell them. I figure if you ran 10's on 3:92 and are talking about going to a higher gear I should take the advice and run with it... Seems like you got something right!
