This would be a 1/4 mile track and it will probably have 650 miles on it by Sunday track day?

Thanks Mark.

Consult the manual. Break in period on the truck is 1000 miles. Why on earth would you want to race it anyway?

^ Because they are having Ford vs. Gm day at the track. What harm is that? I prefer having the faster pick-up, the most capable, most payload. It's the best of all worlds, why not rub it in their face. I say run it!

Right on brother couldn't have said it better myself.It will have a little over 700 miles by the time i get to the track.I'll post results Sunday night.I had only 750 miles on my last truck with a 4.6 3V when i raced it.Maybe i can race some Chevy or GMC trucks with LS V-8's and see how i do.

Thanks Mark.
