Nice runs Tierod, jealous of your 4x4 launches...what 60ft times you getting? Last LS1 truck shootout I went to could only get down to 2.3ish 60ft.

Looks like you need a locker and some long bars or caltracks. Truck has a lot more in it if you can get it to launch better!

Our trap speeds are similar 101-103mph @13psi truck weighs 7k lbs. Been launching with less 1psi boost. Do need set of Caltracs...was running with rear tires bout 16psi to try and get more traction.

Nice times!!! I love seeing 4x4 guys knocking down 13.xx quarters; makes me happy knowing I can go explore the desert in my truck and still get out of the hole quicker with the extra traction from the 4wd.

Nice vid. The one pass you brake stall the TC for about 13-14 seconds, thats gotta be murder on your TC.

You need a trans brake in theworse way, then you dont need to hold the brakes at all. Just press button, which locks trans in drive and reverse at the same time, and when you want to launch just release the button which lets go of reverse and thetruck launches.
. Max launch boost everytime with ZERO creep at the line.

Also when you are driving around the waterbox, you are still getting soem water on your tires. I suggest driving around the waterbox then doing a small burnout in 2wd just to dry off the rears.

peace
