2004SSS, do you run the straps all the time or only at the track?

The first post would answer that as a no. The straps stay on all the time, but are only tightened at the strip.

not for a 5.3 4x4 (ok he's AWD and faster) he doesn't

So these straps are working, cool. I need a set. Hook a brother up!

I thought dusty ran his 11.41 @ 119 with a LQ4?
Anyways, I think those would definitely help keep your front end down at the light.
