5600 Lbs your trucks a PIG
Damn you gotta loose some weight to get some better times
can you even get a smaller pulley for the magnacharger?
get a smaller pulley and then get some tunning done on the truck to get rid of the TQM
tuning on the truck might be worth some tenths for sure

Try taking off those 20's. Those times are what mine did a while ago in 80degree heat.
