Just got back from strip, extremely disappointed. I ran a 10.065 and a 10.066 in the 1/8th. Temp was about 80, high humididty. The truck feels so much stronger than that, I thought for sure 9.6-9.7. I think it might be the TQ mgmt and the pcm pulling timing. I dont know?? How much gain have some of you guys seen with a shift kit and Nelson Tune? I am just really disappointed right now, I think I will go take the Hypercrap off the truck and go back next week and run it with stock tuning. How much improvement should I get from tune and shift kit? Give me some Ideas PLEASE!!

 

With cooler temps I ran a 9.687@73.75 with mit tube, Ram/fresh air scoop, and a magnaflow exhaust. Stock paper airfilter, stock tune.

The temp must of hurt you. What's your DA?

You're faster than me lol!

 

What was your 60ft time ?

I ran a 9.6 stock but after I added a hitch and bedcover it was a 10.00

 

60 ft was 2.25, that was with 1/3 tank of gas, trailor hitch, spare tire, stereo crap. The first time I ran with tow/haul on second was without and I still ran the exact time. The only thing that was good about the whole night, was the first race was really close, I ran an Impala SS and got him by a nose, we were side by side the whole 1/8th It was really close, he could not pull on me at all. The only way I won was on a hole shot, I had a .10 r/t to his .25. I am just wondering what kind of gains I will get from tune and shift kit, does anyone have any before and after numbers. I would like to think for around 600 bucks I should get around .5 to put me around 9.5??

 

I ran 9.60's with Airaid,tbspacer,hypershit on 93tune,shorties,and 3.73s w/eaton. I think for all the money it should run faster too but....., After my $3,500 in tranny work and my truck is still running the same but on 87tune, and 85degree temps. But I can blame that on traction issues.

 

I'm not looking at slips right now but I run 15.5's in the 1/4 with only free mods, hypercrap, and LS1 fans. What gives? I figured some of your times would be a lot better than mine. I live in south Louisiana, so the avg temp here is 80-90 this time of year with 80+% humidity.

 

1.2 seconds with my Wester's tune

 

anyone else have any before and after tune #s. Please encourage me to spend 600 bucks.

 

600 bux??!!! I'd get hptuners for myself for that. We picked up Quicksilverados time by dropping tq management and getting rid of all that false knock.
