Default Got killed by a pathfinder...

I raced a newer pathfinder and he pulled a 15.5 I pulled my PB @16.35 and got my reaction time down to a PB of .97.

When I let the truck cool for about 1/2 hour between passes, that is when I pulled the 16.35. Normally run 16.4 or 16.5 consistantly. I think the corrected time should be around 15.6 I had traction issues before so I installed the powertraxx. Still pulling the same time with traction.

I have my TBTC, HD2 Shift kit and tru cool in the shed waiting to go in. Question is...Is it worth the time? Will my truck run any faster with these in it?

If it is worth it, I will keep the truck. My goal for the truck was low 15's uncorrected. I am wondering if the 4.8 without juice or FI will ever get there.

the torque converter will drop your 60' and lower your ET if you get controll of your traction issues.

Traction wasnt an issue tonight. Will it be with the TC installed?

it might be. with a higher rpm stall speed and increased STR you might fry the tires

I still dont see how your truck is that slow. Your cammed modded truck is running times my stock 04 ecsb 4.8 was running.

We have extremely high DA here, 82 degrees and always 70 - 95% humidity. Elevation is around 600 - 1000 feet. Dont know what the AP is but I am sure it was high as well.

Not too much different than Louisiana. Your elevation is higher, but even your corrected time seems slow for a cammed truck. Maybe its just me, IDK.
