Our trucks are way different in that you have a near stock extended cab and I have a modded truck that is pretty much as light as they come as far as FSC.... I should be much faster.

And yes, my cam helps up top but not out of the hole... but that is why I have a 3000RPM stall. The cam ought to start to really pull @ 3K+. I just need to decide if I have a second + to gain if I got traction, or if my truck is screwed up.

I seriously doubt your truck is screwed up. If you were making 1000 rwhp and had an open diff with crappy tires, guess what your 0-60 time would be....Probably 7.0-8.0.

I was at a light the other day and an old piece of crap ford truck pulled up and revved. I didn't have time to put it into 4wd, so I went in 2wd. He got the jump and I gave it too much throttle and my tires went up in smoke. I probably had 400 more horsepower than him, but couldn't get traction. That doesn't mean my truck is screwed up though.

Remember your truck is only as fast as the weakest link in the mods you have.Before your stall, your weakest link was low end. Right now, your weakest link is traction.

Maybe so. I just kinda want some1 else to say "Yeah I have similar mods and I do the same thing" before I go out and buy a new diffy and still have a crappy time.

Using a stopwatch myself, and a passenger using one many times, we got an average of 6.5 sec 0-60
My truck is stock, 5.3L, 3.73 gears, 2wd, But I have the locker (G80)
so traction is no issue, I don't know what to tell you but, you need traction.

Im going to the drags wednesday to get a base 1/4mi time, and maby a dyno for ***** and giggles.

Well I can use the money for my tranny core return to buy an LSD, but I really don't want to.... but then again...it would be nice to actually enjoy all the mods I did.
