Default What is going on?

I never made it to the track to find out what my truck will do with my new mods but last night I was bored and went out for a couple G-tech runs and the best time I could get was 15.60? I know that the G-tech times are not accurate but I made several runs with the G-tech earlier this year and the best I did was 14.6. I am wondering what the hell is going on with my truck, I have added LT Headers, Corsa Exhaust, TT3000, 4.10 Gears, Eaton Posi, 05 Electric Fans since this spring and my times have gotten slower? Hopefully the G-tech is screwed up and not my truck. Anybody have any idea what could be wrong with my truck?

did you have alot of traction problems? g-tech dosent take into account any traction loss.

Does it feel stronger first of all and do you have anybody you can race that you raced before to see where you stand now.

My truck does feel alot stronger than it did before. Traction is a problem but not a huge problem. I just need to go to the track and find out my real time. I have one concern though, My truck smells like it is running rich and the KR is around 6 or 7 on a WOT run. I have also changed to a 02 PCM to help with th KR issue but it is still there?

Actually now that I think about it my truck feels stronger off the line but I do feel like I lost quite a bit of power on the top end? Could that be the 4.10 Gears?

Ya, it could be the 4.10s. But as for the g-tech crap, dont worry about it. Those things measure speed density and whatever else it measures isnt accurate like the track, theres a good chance that your probably in the 13s easy with those mods.

I dont know about 13's but I was at least expecting mid 14's. Hopefully the G-tech is screwing up. It was a little disappointing when I spent all the money for all of these mods and the G-tech reads slower than stock. Thanks for the replys.

Uhhh...find out why you have knock is the first thing, do not run the truck with it still there. Make sure it is fake before you go running it.

I actually did throw a code, PO155. Something to do with the O2 sensors? How do I find out if the Knock is real or false? What kind of numbers should I expect when I scan my truck, KR, Timing, Long term fuel trim, IAT?
