I put on the 16s and pulled everything I could off the truck and had less than 1/4 tank of fuel. The tailgate, spare, back seat, jack, tire tool, floor mats, etc... were all gone. When I finished piling it up, it looked the Beverly Hillbillies had moved in. The truck weighed 4700 with me in it (I weigh 200 lbs or so). Here are the times:
R/T = .211 secs
60' = 2.066 secs
1/8 = 8.958 secs @ 79.02 mph
1/4 = 13.985 @ 97.75 mph
This was with 26 psi of air in the M/T drag radials. I ran 2 tenths slower with 20 psi in them. Go figure. I tested this a couple of time, before I believed what I was seeing. I must be getting good traction at 26 psi. Next time I may go to 28 psi and see what happens.

Thanks guys. My next goal is to run 13s on my 20s. I am looking at headers next and then a stall. That should have me close. I believe I can run 14.4s in good weather on the 20s now, so we shall see.
