awd is nice, I need some traction aids to get my 60ft down.

That's quite a jump from your 13.82, thats gotta feel good
Weren't you an anti-radix guy though?

Never anti-radix. I always told anyone out there that it is the most complete kit available. I didn't like the retail price tag though. My stance was I'd build a mild stroker before paying retail for a supercharger. I don't think my truck would feel this good with just a mild 408.

I think these Gtech's are pretty accurate, Parish has proved that, your 1/4 mile times will probably be REAL close, and you'll probably see a slightly better 60ft time with the added traction of a strip.
Is 5400lbs your weight with you in the truck?

Its probably more than 5400 with me. I'm an ex-offensive lineman and weigh about 260. My old Z71 was just over 5000, but it didn't have the electric seats, Radix, and other heavy stuff my SS has. I've got a set of escalade wheels and nitto 450 tires I use at the track. That drops about 100 pounds of rotating weight, increases my gearing and hooks up better than my street tires.
