No...just vac brakes for now... So it seems that a gear swap would not benefit me...?

hard to believe a 5000lb rig with turbo making 500rwhp can just blow the tires rolling into it at 40

Does no one understand that a turbe needs a "load" to get its full potential?
Gears will make all the difference in the world.... Trust me ive been through it

If it makes you feel any better I cant hold my truck at the line very well either. The only way I can get it to hold is if when I'm done with my burn out I rev it in neutral a couple of times to help the booster get some vacuum in it. Even then it still wants to push through the line. I have 4.10's too. I just bought a used set of 3.42's that I'm going to try. I figure they will load the turbo harder when in 2nd and 3rd and maybe not push as hard. 2001 ecsb 402ci 4l80e gt4508r

let me guess, you have a chinese nextang tire on the back with 26s?

put a drag radial on it or something, spinning aint winning, heck my 90hp toyota can spin the cheap runner tires.
