Gettting our Truck to Hook Up 101
If I may,
Let's use this thread to talk about the different kinds of traction devices and/or helpful hints to get our light-in-the-*** trucks to hook up.
Please include before and after 60ft times if you have them and your hp/tq for reference. Any related info.
Also, What difference the mod made, if any.
Furthermore: It seems like we spend alot of time talking about Engine Mods, Tranny Mods, Rear Ends, FI, Drop Kits..........I'm as guilty as the next guy.........yet very little time talking about how to put that power to the ground.

I don't have before and after 60' times but Mickey Thompson Et Streets are great!!!!!! My truck would not hook up on street tires even with 200 lbs in the bed but its all i can do to spin the Et Streets.

Traction??? I havent had that since my truck was stock :joker:. When I was makin 450rwhp with a 2/4 drop, cal-tracs, 4:11 posi i ran 28x11.5's mt et streets on 16's. I ran 1.6s 60's all day. BUT i would spin the tire on the rim. I marked the tire one day and after one pass it moved 1 1/2 inches on the rim. I think that with my new setup I will be screwing my tires and maybe even getting bigger et streets. I would love to hook up. then there would be no more 
on the big 1320.
