Mine will light em up for a second from 30 roll...

I like to have some tq managment when it shifts just so that it doesn't smoke the trans and make life alittle easier on it.. Other than that I don't have any.

did your truck come with a 5.3L? those new style sierra wheels look nice on your truck. I've been looking at the new sierra hard. Maybe I just need more mods and a tune.

A tune makes a world of difference! And I agree, DBW "feels" faster than DBC.

My truck and Bumpers are nearly identical in terms of speed, but his feels a lot faster when you ride in it or drive it.

The day I got my fresh swapped 6.0 truck tuned we removed all the TM. Never drove it without it totally removed. I cannot vouch for what it is like with it then without but I can say without TM...I can nail it from 30 mph and my truck kills the tires, shifts at 5900 into second and spins about halfway thru second. Mods are in sig.

Havent felt a single slip yet and my tranny has 278,000 mile on it. Im no idiot so i know im on borrowed time.

I have about $1,600 in my LQ4 Swap.

99K Mile LQ4 Engine - $900
OBX Stainless Longtubes - $355
Tune from friend with HP Tuners- $200
Fluids & Gaskets - $100
Smoking the tires from a 30 roll and people looking like WTF!?!?!?! - PRICELESS
