I ran for the first time on Sunday at New England Dragway and got a best time of 15.12 at 94.82 mph. Not bad for a 4x4 truck im assuming but I was thinkin faster with the mods I had. I didnt do a burnout on any runs in fear of blowing my stock open diff. 1st run was a little wheel spin but decent launch. 2nd run I went out burning up the left tire. After that i ran the runs in Auto 4 but it seemed to not launch as hard. I know i need a posi bad, im bidding on one right now. I was looking at getting a Yank 2600 or some other converter around the same stall or should i just go with the 3000? Im also thinkin of selling my Diablo sport and getting a nelson tune. The cam i know would benefit a lot from it. Long tubes and ORY with some other little tweaks are also in order. Think it would be worth trying to sell it for the Mail order tune?

Never race your truck in "auto". If you need the traction, leave in 4hi and then hit the 2hi button in second gear.

The transfer case uses a clutch to lock into 4x4. You don't want it to lock in on dry pavement because you rear tires are spinning. It'll be a race to see if you tear out you transfer case or your front diff first.

IMO, yes the Nelson tune would be well worth it, especially if you do LT's.
