skipperdaddy has the same mods as me up to a certain point. he has a p&p 90mm LS2 TB, a 3.5" cai, ramair, which i dont have!
i had a stock 90mm TB, stock air intake including filter, no ramair effect, same tuner tuned our trucks. right we have LT, but see the LT are ONLY as good as the air your able to suck into your motor vs sucking more air an only moving so much exhaust. all im getting at is just bc i have LTs or had 17s on the rear doesnt make my truck have an "unfair" advantage vs yours. im giving my opinion. if you wanna get tech. ok i have LT, ok i had 17s, i have an extra 800-1000lbs more than your truck. tell me how LTs an 17s give me more hp than a CAI an 20s....i understand weight of tires and "taller rims" ok that only counts if i had lower profile tires than my stock 20s. yes a CAI doesnt produce as much RWHP as LT but i dont feel its so much RWHP that it pushes my extra 800-1000lbs just as fast as your lighter truck.
sorry if you take me as being rude, just trying to figure out why its so hard to believe my CC full weight can run what your RC runs.

Wrong there is about an 1 1/2 tire height difference. That and a 23 lbs diff in the weight of each tire. Give or take a pound or 2 for scale accuracy. So for your tiny little brain (lmao) that's 46lbs of un-sprung weight of of the truck. Not to mention the slight gear advantage with the shorter tire. And although headers make good power and improve ET I doubt they have as much affect as the smaller tires if so its very little.

i am not saying your truck has an advantage and i do believe its faster than mine. one reason its an 08 and believe me when i say the 09 came out with a ton of restrictions.
i do believe if install 17s which i am doing this wed i should see a high 14s for sure if this is so then your truck is not quicker than mine and my 20s with the stock 342s are killing me. i am sure you don't have a small brain lol.

i do have a small brain. like i said the weight difference of the truck vs yours is not in my favor. ok so i have a 1.5" height difference tire wise, all im getting at is i have more weight to get moving vs you. so i dont see how 50 less lbs is helping me run 15.6
i guess imma have to go to the track wed too on 20s and see the difference. ill even put my stock air box back on.

try the pacesetter LT, ORY or gutted cats if you cant get a brake tag bc of cats. also get a circle d 3200 (278mm) stall id love to see that in a CC an 3:73s unless your staying with 20s then go 4:10s. im staying with 20s or atleast a tall 17" tire...so im going 4:30s an a 3200 stall
you want a stall that wont break your bank, do a TBSS stall, itll foot brake about 2300(i have 1 i cant use BNIB lol)
