dump the hppIII and get edit or predator. i am sure that will make a diff and put you past him. even with the stall he got you? i would think just a stall on a stock truck you would be able to take a hemi. friend of mine has a 4x4 single cab and he is easy to handle. how were your launches?

spun to much off the line. before i could get tracksion he had a car length on me. heard to many bad things on the pred. and dont have that kind of money for the edit,(wish i did).now if your not looking at times i beat him a couple of times just in reaction times and the finish. but his time where always better.

did you lower your back tire pressure when you were at the track. it bothers me that you have that many mods and couldn't beat him. pred is ok. i dont know why people are having a problem with tuning it. we (BigKid and I) got it dialed in today. truck runs so much better.

well, i would think with your mods you would run at least a high 14. what exactly is your true flow intake? not following that to well. maybe it is because you have a 4.8 but i know there can't be that much diff.

true flow is a brand name for intake ex: k&n fipk. except i kept the k&n filter. i also have 1.85 comp rockers. was truely dissapointed at the track. before rockers and intake, best time was a 15.567 @89mph---1/4mile after best time was 15.4??.i would have to look at the slip again for accuracy. what do you think about the times, not very impressive at all are they.
