I always tell of mods and people who hide them should stay out. It's not just mods that make a truck quick, it's also the driver. If you can't drive, and don't know your trucks capabilities and just hammer the pedal, you're bound to wind up with sloppy traction and lower times...if I had the quickest truck i'd for sure make sure I knew how to drive it. I'd also tell people what i've done and see if they can drive like me. And if I get beat, so the heck what? I'll do something else and just get quicker.

This is SOOO true here guys... and there are a LOT of people who dont take this into consideration. Long story short, my husband has beat a lot of people with much faster rigs just because of his driving skills...

Definitely Turbo....I have seen several cars at the track that have won races over "quicker" cars because the driver was so good, knew when to shift, and how much gas to give it so it would keep traction...etc...

As I was reading the mods list for the truck I noticed nothing about a different HPOP system being mentioned on the truck. I searched further and found nothing. But wait his truck ran 11.55, how is it possible with injectors and all that to get going that fast? Klutch, drmiller where are you? Please explain, us 7.3 guys don'y know enough about this subject so we need an expert opinion.
Davids truck has the Terminator HPOP system on it that he also sells. The one on his truck has been on it since June or so of last year.

Shoot him a PM guys and ask him - he has an account here at Powerstroke.org and he's a nice guy so I'm sure he'd help resolve this

I don't think there's anything to resolve.

I see people in disagreement on if a guy has something on his rig or not - I politely offered a way to "resolve" it.
