Going to try to go on Sunday about 3 pm if it works out. Get a new track time before further mods.

Truck ran like ****! 8.67 @79? 2 passes virtually identical. 60 sucked too @ 1.87 & 1.88 but still mph...WTF!!! It feels ok normal driving but I'm always loaded up with tools and parts so it would when empty. Only thing I can guess is I loaded the wrong tune after inspection. Time to talk to Sam. I'll let y'all know. SO DISAPPOINTING.

Wondering if I had traction control issues. That may explain it.

I had my traction control turned off on my 2007 Club Cab. What a difference. Instead of taking 4 second to downshift when I went to WOT, it went to 1 second.

I messaged my tuner Sam Miller last night via email. See what he thinks. I know I had the tc off but do I need stabilitrack off as well? I should know this but to be honest I forget.

Yes I believe that is what I had to turn off. Also in the tune tables, just inserting zeros didn't work as it was searching for a numeral so we tried .0001 and it worked great.

He loaded his last known good tune he had saved then took my truck out for an hr or so. Tweaked everything a bit. Raised timing 1 degree raised shift points and played with the trans. for a while. It pulls way harder for sure and the drivability is awesome. I was not unhappy with it before but what a difference. Back to the track within a month...
