That honestly is all that I have, I was surprised that it didn't take more to get in to the 12's.

. That would be great if you could post the video. Did you record the speed engineering truck on its first run? If so that was my 12 sec run.

Ill have to remember that

that already good time

The et streets hooked pretty good, but I was spinning every launch. My 60' were 1.82, 1.92, and 2.09. The reason the 26's throw it off so much is because my normal tires are 32" tall. Here is a pic of the difference in heights.
03 silverado you should be able to hit a 13.7 easily with the mods you have if you can get decent traction. I will bet low, low 13's with slicks.

Should I get Slicks, Cheater slicks or Drag radials? A low low 13 is my goal. These damn Generals will just sit there and spin if you dont pedal it a lil coming out of the hole theres no sence in me going to the track it will spin all the way into 2nd gear with these stock tires. lol

Congrats!
It's cool knowing you still have more in it.
I'm going to go to a 28" tall ET Drag on mine. They hook MUCH bette than the ET Street does and the tire is a bit taller so all around you'll hook better but your MPH might go down a bit due to friction.
