Default What to do? no traction

Well took the ecsb to the track yesterday...went fairly slow.
best 60 out of my two passes was a 2.023 i think and it went 13.3 at 102
second pass was a joke 2.17x 60ft 13.8 at 101.
Let out two times on the second pass hoping it would get traction but it wasn't working.
The truck should be trapping higher than what it did IMO but i guess the 3.73vs my old 3.42 and the 3200stall vs the 2600stall could have ate up my gained mph from the head swap.....?
Anyway i was running ET streets on stocker rims and they are 27"tallx 10wide i believe.
It's 1/4 dropped hanger shackle with doescht tech"sp" shocks.
What would you guys suggest i do to get her to hook up and any ideas why my mph would be so low? When i was bolt on/cam with no tune it trapped 100mph?
Anyway what you guys think?

I do have a log from the second pass i can upload in a little bit....forgot to save first run.

Would cal tracs be enough? I'd like to get some street traction as well and right now i can nail it at 40mph and the *** end breaks loose and does alittle slide side to side show.
Basically nothing in first gear is uasable to me.

You have too much power, just block off 3/4 of your air filter and youll get traction... haha.



Time for some stickier tires.

with a H/C 6.0 and 3200stall, those 27" e/ts are not going to cut it, stop messing around and get you the 28" Hoosier Full slick... if you want to know what your truck really does... would know what to tell you about the mph, but I would start with getting traction then go from there to see what else is wrong, but the 60' is definately way off if you could cut some 1.7's-1.8's thats and easy 12.7-12.8 atleast with getting your 60ft down...

sponsors have em? What rim should i run for those? Arn't they fairly wide?
I gotta do something cause the et's were hot for sure. After the run i touched em and they were still pretty warm....plenty of sticky but not enough for the combo i guess.
