Right now, I honestly don't know. But my guess is high 12's. Last time I ran, with a different chip tune and with only 4# pulley for an additonal 4 lbs of boost for a total of 12 psi. I ran a 13 flat in the dead heat of summer in florida. Which with the same combo, thousands of people are running 12.7-9's (just in a little colder conditions. I have more mods and new tranny. The "bullet proof" tranny in now is insane to drive in traffic with chip on even in street mode, so I drive with chip off. I have 6# pulley now and a different tune on my chip. I want to change that tune again and get it dyno tuned finally. So I can run at optimal conditions/times. With the 6# pulley ( 14 psi )and less mods than me. My friends truck and my parts he ran a 12.5. I would like to run 14 psi daily and run mid to low twelves. But for now I am still on 12 psi and who knows what times. I am going back on Jan 17, to run my friends stang. So we will see then. Hopefully, I can get some time on the dyno to post some numbers for ya. But bone stock I posted 344 rwhp and 441 rwtq. Most 00 Lightnings post 324 rwhp and 421 rwtq. So out of the box mine was a little stronger than most. Not insanely better but enough that you could notice. When I am done modding the L, I want to be running 12's on 22's. And around 450-500 rwhp. Which should be low to mid 11's on Dr's. Nothing insane but enough to have fun with. Anyways, sorry for the long story. But I want the contour to run as close to 12's as possible. If that is even possible. Not sure but I want to try. LOL
