. That's about a 7/10's difference in ET from where I'm at. Some nice, cool dense air over there 
I'd love to see what your truck could do at a DA like that.

I've definitely gotta give Pat G a ton of credit for the cam, this thing is running WAY better than I (or probably anyone else) ever expected. I was thinking I'd have to fight for a 13.99 with this setup, and here I am thinking about 12s.
And that's a good point with the suspension. Maybe over winter break when I do the hangers in the rear I'll try to work some sort of limiting straps/chains out for the front end. I should be good with traction with the new tires, but if I can minimize the weight transfer, that'll be more energy going towards moving the truck forward, instead of flopping all around on the line.
some limiting straps from what ive seen are a must... it will stop that nasty hop and maybe do the cognito idler and pitman support to help keep it straight off the line

Yeah this is the first time I've ever gotten any hop at the track, and it was just because the prep was HORRIBLE. I normally hook better on the street.
Ever since I got rid of the mud tires, the thing tracks straight as an arrow off the line, so I really see no reason to start upgrading suspension stuff until I'm actually breaking parts.

Nice work! It was great meeting you and I hope to see you again. Congrats on the new PB.
To those asking why a 4x4 can't hook there, there is no choice but to drive through the water box at atco. Getting a clean 4x4 burn-out is just about impossible as well. There has been times I had to get out of it or risk hitting the tree! This really only happens when it is cold out...in the summer on a heavy car day, it is much better.
