nah, you'll probably run slower

lol, im sure u will, with a 6.0 and 200shot with cam i dont see why u wouldnt easily hit low 13's in teh 1/4...if u get traction that is

lose the heavy box and ghetto 22's and you'll run even faster....much faster

Ghetto 22's? That's cold! FYI... there are quite a few guys at the local country club rolling Eskys with 22s - 24s. These guys are business men that don't think they're ghetto. I'll assume this is your personal opinion.

Back to topic: Lose the 22's (ghetto or not). That'll get you a good bit of gains in acceleration. You're engine & trans won't work so hard. You're speaker box might not be so bad. Backside of your truck is a little light. That little amount of weight won't hurt much. Traction will not be you're friend with the 6.0 & 200-shot. Start looking to enhance for that.

You made a good choice of wheels for your truck. However, if you want to feel the full potential of your 6.0, put a set of stock 16" aluminum wheels on with 29" (approx.) diameter tires. If you put these wheels and tires on now you will probably run very low 10's in the 1/8 mile. This is just a big guess but I'm sure your truck will easily run 8's with all the mods you want to do, which is impressive for a truck on 22's.
