Seeing as you did the 4.3 swap, I wouldn't be expecting much.

Well I guess we'll have to wait and see! I would think with a little heating and some practice you can get them to stick good. 2wd launching is a whole other sport, I am glad I started with a 4wd.

I was spinning at a 1.86 without any traction bar. I think the truck had a high 1.7 in it but couldn't quite get the ET streets to hook. Your cal tracks may help but the stall and 4.10's sure won't.

14-15psi was happier off the line but hold on tight on the big end.
