I'd talk with your tuner, maybe have him re-tune it. And next time have somebody able to visually verify it there's wheelspin.
Did you have some cargo in the back maybe?

Do you have thier intakes because these trucks need a tune for the intake. Or they tune it for a intake and you dont have one give them a call .I would like to know what happened .I need to get a good tune pretty soon

Should have went with a Nelson Tune!! The TBSS should be running a lot better than that with a custom tune and a cat-back system.
Your tuner isn't tuning right. The tune alone should have made you grin after it was installed. The seat-of-the-pants feel should be way up there as well.
I'd either have him retune it or change tuners! How much TM did he remove??
I would have at least 80% or 100% of TM removed from the factory program.
That will definately wake it up!
I had my tuner start with removing 80% of TM when my truck had 2,500mi on it. His tune just amazed me. I didn't think there was that much actually to be had from just tuning it. The SOTP feel went way up there!
When I hit about 14,000 miles, I had him remove 100% of TM. That change even gave me a seat-of-the-pants feel and harder firmer shifts.
Sorry, but get a better tuner.

I also think that your tune may not be on i would take it back and ask for a retune or even go with a different tuner, Just my .02

this is what the problem is i just removed the neckdown piece till their intakes r ready and i was told their specific CAI was needed for my tune since i had gone ahead and ordered the tune for the CAI before i have a CAI. i just didnt think it would make that much of a diff guess i was wrong

Wow, once you get the intake let us know how the tune works. Ya I heard the TBSS are a little tricky to tune. I am thinking of a Victor tune but as soon as thier Intake is ready.

Somethings up b/c those times are off pace of what everyone else is running... I need to get to the track and get some baseline runs in.
