I have no clue, but next time I run it I'll hook up HPT or my Diablosport and see what it says. You sure your truck is THAT slow? We have very similar mods, right?

Idunno mine just doesn't seem like it would run that quick.. from my last track times I run like a 8.6 8.7 that's with a crappy track and having to baby it bad and no 4wd launch but I don't see mine running that. We have the same setup cept my cams alittle bigger, 3500 converter, 4.56s and 33s

Definitely stay out of the water box. With radial tires you are just picking up water in the tread and then it runs out under your tires when you stage. I run PepBoy AT tires at the track and cut 1.60 60' times without any burnout at all. It spins a little but not much.

Those are some damn good times from your big *** truck though. Should be interesting when you spray it.

Just get your 4wd crap back together and launch that thing. These lifted trucks have so much wind/rolling resistance and weight, you need a good launch to make up for it.

For example, if I launch with a 2.0 60', my et will be ~13.8 at 98mph. Now drop that 60' to 1.8 seconds and i'm running 13.3 at 99mph. Your truck is quicker than you think, lol.

Thanks man. I remember when I met you at the track the first time I ever raced my truck. It's gotten a little quicker since then...

You have definitely kicked that thing in the ***. With a 200 shot you might be running me down.

I just bought a c5 for a daily driver so I might start messing with my truck again and see if I can't get into the 10's.
