im faster hehe jfwy thats a pretty big gain just from a converter. now get you some slicks and do some weight reduction and try to knock off a mid 8 in the 1/8th.

Oh ya, my avartar is cooler than yours.....



Weight reduction is a good idea, I wish some one would document a weight reduction thread so I could get some ideas what to remove...



BTW that is pretty damn quick for a big truck like yours!!! I bet those 4wd launches are awesome!!

New time was 2.0 60ft 8.9 @ 78mph...

so basically .5 seconds in the 8th is what i gained...

This was on regular street tires, full trim, spare, toneanu (sp) cover, etc... I am extremely happy!! The weird thing was the truck hooked, did not spin at all and I added back in some (35%) TQ management to keep the 1->2 shift from spinning, so in my case TQM actually helped!! I need to work on the tune cause my AFR was 11.9-12.0 the entire run...
