leaving with no boost but 6000 ish rpms i would net 1.65-1.66 with a 5.3 at 18psi in tires

14-15 range netted high 1.7s
16-17 range netted low 1.7s
when i stayed 17.5-18.5 it was consistant at 1.65-1.66 for most tracks i ran at


ran same tires on my lightning with stock stall, stock suspension and no traction bars netted 1.72s at 18psi this was leaving slightly above idle with stock Eaton

Is this truck 2wd or 4wd? 1.7x 60' is leaving a ton on the table in terms of 1/4 mile time.

18psi seems to be the magic number for me with a 28/10.5/16 Hoosier on 9.5" wheel. When I had them on the 7" wide stockers I had to run lower pressure for the footprint but they would sway bad on topend.
