Tbi housing? The truck is tbi.

Not sure what you mean.  Do you mean the stock air cleaner?

Yes.

Yes.
One of the best things I ever did for my engine and over all performance was put the stock air cleaner setup back on. Has made drivability and cold running sooo much better. All thanks to Rich, he cleared up a lot of issues with my truck.

Found out that is it is dammed  for sure, light weight pistons and something done with the valves. It's 400 hp Built for high rev hp. Ran a 12 second time at the track and loves to drink up the juice.

Limited slip front and rear, double shocked up front.

Runs great slight throttle, and I mean slight and you're looking for a ticket to police mans ball.

Yowzah!

Calculator says for 12 second pass with 5000 pounds you need 570 horsepower.

If you "broke into the 12s" (that is, less than 13), it would be 450 hp for 5000# on a 13-second pass.
