well i made 5 motor passes today on 28x10.5x15S MT ET Drags. before on street 20" street tires and no weight reduction (about 4900 with me) i ran a best of 14.4@96 with 2.3 60 ft. Today i was pretty consistant, though it was not what i was expecting.i removed my sub/box spare tire and my nitrous bottle, which should be around 200lbs total. my 5 passes were:
14.60@90.1 2.09 60ft
14.58@93.3 2.14 60ft
14.53@93.6 2.14 60ft
14.49@93.7 2.11 60ft
14.52@93.8 2.13 60ft
I'm not sure what gears are in the rear since they are still stock, but i was barely shifting into 3rd at the 1/4 mark crossing at about 4300rpms i'm assuming i have 3.23 or 3.42's. and i cant 60ft for ****. Any suggestions on what gears would be better, without being too much for nitrous as well? Thanks
EDIT: its a GU5 which means i have 3.23's...
Here's a vid of the 14.53 run http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3hJqtX3z3I

what was the weather like the last time you went.that could have something
with my 07 i ran 14.36 @ 96 or 97mph with cai,short tires,and me tuneing it,on spare,and gate loaded my truck is 5347 with out me.
with 3.23 tires you should have gotten 25.75 by 17 tire dr's,for more gear.where are you shifting it.

it was 70-72 degrees with 64% humidity the first time, and it was about 86 degrees with 80% humidity the second time, i know that is a huge difference there. i got the 28" slicks because i got a good deal on them plus i wanted to put gears in it, and it has nitrous too. also keep in mind this truck is just a 5.3L with 110k mile stock longblock/trans
