Hey. Someone else from Columbus! Sorry can't help you with your launch. Are you going to National Trails for your runs? I will be there April 16, Grudge Night! Have not had a chance at the track yet. Truck is getting painted. Maybe I will see you there, I would love to see a DMax run.

launch in 4 high then button to 2 high 60' time should be about 1.7?, mid 14's very possable.Had a duromax kick my butt that way,all he had was the edge,and he was running mud tires with a 4-door <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> Jim

Michael didnt run the gasser way to many people at track.The Dmax went 15.94@88mph enough to beat a fully riced out civic complete with wing and yellow paint.I have hot juice and amsoil air filter everything else is stock.Our mph are close e.t is off for me.I spun the tires on 2-3 shift will try again soon going to work on my launch.

I launch the Suburban in auto 4WD. One foot on the brake, gas flat to the floor and then let it rip.

Tom I tried foot on the floor and redlighted.Seems brakes wont hold truck back at high boost.I will make a pass without air filter,maybe dump muffler for straight pipe,would like to see 14s.
