Default First time down the track....

16.05 @ 91mph kinda dissappointing actually....... the track conditions were 85deg 70%humidity 29.7pressure and running at 636ft above sea level. I was hoping for something closer towards mid 15's.....guess its time for some gears 3.23s suck.

thats not a bad time, it will be mid to low 15's in good weather. Gears and tune will help it alot.

man something must be really wrong with your et.
my friend in LA. has the same truck, 3.23's one wheel peel.
all he had done to it was a flowmaster in place of the stock muffler and ran 16.00's in may weather.

Maybe I'm missing something in my tune??? I've been tunning it myself with Tunercat<have considered going with HPtuners @ end of year> This was a "midnight drag" so no timeslips only et and mph. I would like to know how much this thing weighs, that could have something to do with the high et. The trucks a 3LT<loaded,power everything> and I'm a fata$$ around 280.

My 4x4 SLT weighs 5350 on a commercial truck scale. I imagine a 2wd a little less.

Besides working on my tune <getting my shifts down to how I like them, and maybe fooling with the spark and PE> how much time can I expect to shave off with 3.90 or 4.10 gears?? What about a stall converter....with plans to get a 224ish cam in the future?
