I'm thinking I'll put new plugs in, put my tires on it so they are all the same size, and try launching in 4hi. Any advice on this?? My 4wd is usually not used on the road, except during rain with bald tires. I'm in the process of finding a converter. How much would a tb stall help? Also how bout a shift kit? I want some LT's, just cant aford any right now except for the pacesetters, and we all know they wont work on 4wd Thanks for the help. I guess after I change the plugs, if I'm still slow I'll get it re-tuned

If I'm in town, I'm going to try to make it there Sat for Dyno day.

Not to hate on Nelson, but you should get it tuned by Futral on the Dyno. It's not far from B.R. and so much more accurate. You probably don't live but MAYBE 15 min. from Thunder either.

Its worth a shot ive tried launching in 4wd and 2wd and get better results from 2wd let the rears down to about 20 psi heat em up and they hook just fine. I cut consistant 2.00 all day like that on stock tires and g80. I dont think you are spinning its just a matter of power more of it and you'll get better times. dyno tune is better, hp tuners is best

Would it help my et any if I took the factory block out of the rear, and loosened up the torsion bars? If so about how much?

Allright, changed the plugs when I got home, changed the fuel filter too. put my mudders back on. It seems to idle a lot smother, and run better. Hopefully it was just the plugs. thanks for the help.
BTW the old plugs well not old, but you know what I mean were a very dark maroonish blackish color. Is this carbon from the seafoam?
