A 2.4 60ft is real slow for your mods...what was your mph in the 1/4mile?
Where you spinning? You should be able to do a 2.1 60ft on street tires at least...so that's .6 seconds off the line...then the stock shift points hurt you a couple of tenths and the weather wasn't ideal either so there's a couple more tenths. Get a real tune and some traction and you will be a second faster. Good Luck.

 

90-91 mph who is a good tuner at a good price and will work with me

 

yeah that little slip is depressing huh...i feel your pain...went through the same thing recently

 

i did get a new tranny and gears put in so do they need to be tuned in??? i know my tranny is now vac moduled

 

get that sucker tuned right!
and btw... reaction time has nothing to do with you elapsed time.
your time starts when your truck leaves the line.

 

i only have a 4.8 as well....stock i ran a 16.5-6

 

damn i ordered a tune so we will see if thats the prob...
i was stalling it up to 2200 and spinning a little...


thanks Robert

 

i got a efi live tune from dirty dave on here. i ran it with a gtech meter and ran a 14.4 and a 14.5. so lets hope it can do it at the track now.

 

That was probably hurting you as well. Dont load your suspension. It costs you time to unload it and you dont get a very effective wieght transfer. Stall it to 1000 and let the converter flash and launch for you. I would say you should have ran a 14.4-6 that night.

 

I agree with Beau, especially if you were on street tires. If traction is not an issue or you or running slicks.....Well I still think that the 2800 stall is a bit light for that cam on a 4.8. I would think a 3000-3200 for that cam would be perfect.

I was running the same cam in my 5.3 crew cab, with a 2500 stall and turning 14.2's but with 2.1-2.2 60's, but a 2800-3000 would have shot me into the 13's solidly.
