Itching for finals to be over, so I can get my damn exhaust worked out, and hopefully see a 13.xx timeslip. I'll be perfectly happy for quite a while being able to say that my fat *** 4x4 (that looks pretty much stock, both on the outside, and in the engine bay) runs in the 13s.

BTW, with the stock heads on my truck and a horrible pinion angle, I was able to hook in 2wd pretty good. My best was 14.05 with a little spin off the line on bald 35's aired down slightly.

That's what I said with my truck. Now that I'm used to it, it feels like a mid 14 truck again. It's a disease!

And yeah, next time I go I'm going to experiment with some 2wd runs. I'm not sure if you've got the G80 or not, but I've just got the open rear, so I really doubt I'm going to even come close to hooking on these tires, but we'll see. Mainly, I want to see how it affects my MPH.
This is the fun part though. I know it's running right (so I can stop being paranoid), now it's just a matter of fine-tuning and experimenting with what works the best.

Haha, one-legger, that sucks. I blew up my first G80, then got a Jasper rear with a Zexel(similar design to trutrac), blew that one up and got it replaced under warranty. I'm going to change it out to a 14 bolt with trutrac before I blow it up again though.
High 17's!!! My truck ran a 15.9 bone stock with a catback and cone filter, lol.

Granted, It was on a 190k 4.8, at full weight, in 90* weather, with a MAF reading 20% low, but still. It was slow as fawk.

4.56s with 35s is going to be just about the same final drive ratio as m 3.73s/265s.
