was up guys, i just came back from the track and am very dissapointed with my times. i ran 3 times and all 3 times i ran 15.0, my reaction time was.447 and 60' was 2.272 all 3 times. the truck feels alot stronger with the cam and tune but i can only manage a 15.0. the truck is a 2000 extended cab with a 5.3, it has a ls6 cam, k&n cai, tb spacer, electric fans, no cats, flowmaster, 2000 stall converter, shift kit, corvette servos, 4.11 gears, and a wheatley tune. i think that my biggest down fall is traction. i don't have a posi in it and have 55/70/17 tires with are huge. what do you guys think? i think i should be in the high to mid 14.

The 60' is hurting you, but not just horribly. No offense but, your MPH isn't that great and even with good traction I think you'll only knock a few tenths off of your time. You might need to have your tune gone over again cause I would expect more than that with the mods you have.

Even in my ZO6 the cam doesn't come on hard untill 3500...real hard at 4000 and that's a 346 ci. Also, it goes without saying that if you can't hook you're wasting your time. You gotta have power going to both wheels first, then I highly recommend a bigger stall with that cam...or just put a small shot on it for out of the hole torque. With a stall and traction you would be DEEP into the 14's. Good luck!

What was the weather like when you ran??
