Saw the vid on your Facebook.. Sick!!

Justin are you running a 2 step? I would try some nitrous. Little 50-75 shoot till full post should really wake it up out the hole.

That thing has the MPH to run 9's with a 1.4X 60'.
Thats the reason I run my little Isky 212, and 215 cams. Larger 6.0L but pulling 4875lbs of 4x4 been 1.37 60' off the foot brake no 2 step. In a 4.8L or 5.3 I'd be under 215@.050'' and tight lsa.

That's just flat out awesome!!

I'm blown away at how fast our trucks have been getting in the last year, as well as how many badass projects we've got going!!
