Default most-hated joker 4.8 test and tune

We just made some launches testing and tuning with converter, caltracs and shocks on wed and on last one we broke the output shaft and fuked some **** up. We fixed it and went back to stock converter for now(aftermarket was too loose). Truck has the power to run mid to low 10s just need to get it too hook, hopefully soon.

boost only

looks like you got into the converter too hard on the 2nd launch. you were power breaking before the brakes were let loose. i know you're trying to spool, but with the nitrous try backing off the brake stall a little and see what happens. it's not good news if you are spinning before the light even turns green haha

Gotta love leaving stripes at the strip.

How do you plan to get traction? Drop in pressure seems to be the only way. Doesn't look like you have any axle wrap or other issues?

Man that's a quick spool up, I need to find a way to bring in timing while tbraking or brakeboosting, are you using a small shot while on the brake to spool faster?

i dont think it was on a brake. notice in the 2nd video the tires are spinning before he ever lets off of the brakes. the fact that he is on the brakes says no trans brake. spinning the tires before the green light is probably a huge contributor to the massive traction loss.
