Went to the track tonight
Went to the track tonight and manage to make 5 passes. All passes went like this:
60ft - 2.14x
1/8 - 9.5x @ 73.x mph
1/4 - 14.9x @ 90.x mph
Were "x" was the only difference in times and mph on all 5 passes. 2 time trials and 3 rounds and lost on a -.01 red light running against a 17 sec. jeep.
I wish I could get that 60ft a lil better and get the 1/4 in the 14.70 - 14.80 range. I'm thinking about trying a 26" ET Street Radial, seems they would do much better in the 60ft than the 255/60R17 Dunlops I currently have on my truck. It's also pass time to get rid of that predator programmer and get a good tune.

How does the TT2600 compare to stock? I've read a lot of comments on owners of that one wishing they went bigger. Honestly, for the mods you've got done the times are good. I hit a 2.16 dead hooking part throttle with 4.10s, stock converter, and little more grunt from a 6.0. I really don't think that stall is doing you a huge favor on the 60' and of course going wot off the line with street tires is impossible.

Nope, it is a 2WD.
A friend of mine hooked up his laptop and we did a data log of a WOT run with HP Tuners. Turns out that even though the Predator Programmer claims to turn off torque management, it is still pulling timing and throttle position is going from 100% to 40% at the 1 - 2 shift. In the upcoming weeks, he is going to tune my truck on his dyno and the predator programmer is going on ebay.

What track? I was supposed to head out to No Problem last night, but got caught up dealing with some wedding crap...
Good times BTW. Makes me think my truck may be a touch faster than I initially thought...she's never had the pleasure of running down the track.

Thanks.....I'm trying to get Earl to tune it for me while I'm on vacation June 15 - June 19. Time to get rid of this Predator Programmer and get a real tune. There was a truck at the track with similar mods as mine, but Earl had tuned it with HP Tuners and he was running the stock torque converter. We lined up his 60ft was 2.2x mine was 2.14, he ran 14.89 @ 93mph and I ran 14.99 @ 90mph.
