Thats actually pretty helpful. My truck was way slower stock for stock.What I can tell for sure by looking at your old sig is the $500.00 electric fans I was looking at from LFP are probably not worth it.

Efans will only help throttle response and provid slightly better cooling (duals), no MPG increse either.

I liked the E-Fan / Lincoln Navigator Water Pump swap, looked cleaner and being able to fire up the fan for 20-30 minutes at the track was a big plus IMO.

Ideally having dyno pulls and making passes in exact conditions would show better results, I did use same indoor dyno, tried to only visit the strip when it was under 45degrees (had Jim @ JDM make my track tune for 100oct/93oct mix in cold air)

something I've never really tracked, just when the needle was on "E" i would fill her up and keep on truckin.

Rick, glad to see you are in another SVT. I figured you would be back in one sooner or later.

Does 96lasersnake still have your ole truck? I thought he sold it and repurchased it again from the guy he sold it to.

And your 12.2 is still impressive today IMO for the mods.

 

[TXRickC]

Before the white rig I had a red '01 with almost same exact mods except
4lb caged pulley and Accufab t-body were only difference. Went 12.29 @ 110.55 w/1.80.

No I bought it back and then sold it again. They person I sold it to wrecked it and originally said it was totalled, then later had it up for sale saying it was fixed. I miss that truck too, it wasnt as clean the second time I got it back but was still far nicer than most out there:rockon: Here is a few pics from the second time I got it back
