Is this the first time you've had issues with the ratchet shifter?

Didnt look like it was the shifter causing the issue. he shifted into 2nd then right into 3rd. If the shifter was messed up it wouldnt have up shifted 2 times during the pass

Yeah still rocking the Rancho's on the rear, with strut extenders to help with the angles. I'm sure it could be a lot better if I wanted to step up, but the last 6 passes at the 1/4 have all be 1.4s so it's not all. I'm honestly worried to hit it any harder on the 10 bolt and 45xx weight. I think a 1.3 could be game over lol.

How much boost can you leave on without spinning the street radials?

I'm still amazed at you pulling 1.4x with truly stock suspension and single adjustable shocks.

Also, what's your preload setting on the caltracs?

Thanks JJ!

GMCtrk, last time out I was leaving at 35-3600 2-step and leaving off the t-brake at about 10psi. We talked about more, but I wasn't sure if it would hook it or over power it or even break it. Still on 295 radials as well.

It seems finding the sweet spot to hit her to transfer weight and then load the power in quickly has whats worked for my truck. Preload has been adjusted as I've went along, but I can tell you driver side gets less preload then the passenger side.
