Good kill.

The loudmouth is still on there, and its still screaming.LOL. And for no bottom end, I am still spinning at the track for a few feet usually resulting in 14.5/14.6 passes. On its fastest run though, the track had good prep and was sticky as hell, no spinning on that run, along with good air. Weight reduction, no rear bumper, no spare tire or mount, no tailgate, no rear seat, no passenger seat, no console, no subwoofers. Wheatley is my tuner, for all you saying its not a stock cam, he can tell you it is. I really dont care who believes it or not, people have met me at the track and seen it in person.

You're spinning at the track because you've got an open diff. You might say that both tires spin, but that doesn't mean they start spinning at the same time, or the same speed.

In some situations, they do spin at the same time, other times only one goes up in smoke.This will be taken care of this year, lower gears and a tru trac.

Well, for a while I wondered if it didnt have a 5.3 in it, that was until I rode in your truck Lisa.LOL. I felt the torque of the 5.3 and right then I knew I sure didnt have one.

For now I am leaving it alone, but spring/summer time I am going to look into an engine swap, gears, tru trac, and transmission.
