Default going to carmax tomorrow, suggestions?

So i'm pretty much done with my colorado. After 4.10s it still ran like **** and put down worse times then before.

So anyways, i'm going to browse some different trucks. So what would you guys suggest i look for?? I don't wanna end up with another truck that won't do better then ******* 16s at the track(pardon the language, still a bit angry on that note)

I pickcked up my 04 CCSB from CarMax in 07 for $16.8k with the SLE trim with the tow package 5.3 and 24k miles. They were easy to deal with and just happened to have what I was looking for.

havent really came to a decision on cab options. I'm pretty much open to any make/model/cab config.

I know, i was following his example(prior to the V8) and it never gained a tenth. Infact my recent mod(4.10s) caused the truck to get slower. Its very frustrating knowing that i've put easily a few grand into this truck and its just gotten slower.
