Default Finally got to the track and i have some ?'s

So I got the truck to the track for the first time on Friday with a couple guys from gmfullsize. The specs of my truck are below. I was pleased witht he results but of course i am now looking to go faster. I felt like it was good out of the hole but lost a lot of mid range. I had a 2011 Camaro until mid track and another late model camaro got me at the end. If you have any advice please let me know. Vids

keep at it. this hot weather isnt helping things. you will be a solid 13 second truck this winter.

I was spinning. I was thinking of getting some drag radials. That would help my 60' right? Also I did do a 4wd launch but I think i was a little timid on brake stalling it. Maybe had 2k rpm when I left

like i said, play with it and figure out the launch that your truck likes. those 20" wheels are definately not helping things. once you figure out the best launch technique everything else will fall into place. or you can get you a nitrous kit and spray it in 4x4 and go ahead and skip 13's all together

Slowhawk Performance in Bridgewater MA He did a street tune on it. No cam yet but I am specing out a head cam package from texas-speed. I was thinking 228r and the stage 2.5 heads.

are you talking about the 2.5 ls6 head? i think that would be a pretty good combo
