Angry this thing is a slug off the line...

Ok so I've got an 07 ECSB 2wd with the 4.8. So far I've done LT headers, highflow cats into true duals, K&N CAI, 4:10 gears, and a black bear tune. With all that I still cant get it to spin the tires if the ground isn't wet. Granted I've got 22's but I figured could get a little smoke off them!! And from a dig its a slug! Once I'm rolling its good from a stop I feel like I could get out and run faster than this thing takes off!

My question is what to do next to get more bottom end/power off the line??

Forced Induction would give you the most bottom end.

You'd like a TVS1900.

@iamkeniff- are you saying just a converter? no cam or anything else?

Yes just a coverter. It will wake the little 4.8 up. I can roast mine off the line and pretty deep into first gear but I got a tsp 220 cam in mine.

Um depends what gears you have? Some have 3.23s a converter would help but a gear swap would be a good idea and if you have the $$ then do a cam, Longtubes, gears, and a 3200 stall
