I've ran a best of 15.2 @92 in what sounds like to be damn near the same truck....I wouldn't say you're too far off the pace ...BTW my best 60' was like a 2.38

is your truck sluggish off the line? i wonder if my tune is off at low rpm since the dyno pulls started at 3k rpm

3.23's tend to make them doggy off the line....yeah it's not the greatest off the line BUT these LS based engines dont make much torque down low like the older small blocks either. There comes the reason to get some gears and a stall converter, to get up into the powerband which starts around 2500 on a stock engine(thats where mine starts pulling harder)

3.23 gears are killing you..slap some 4.10's and tt3000 stall and youll be good to go...btw dyno numbers realy dont mean ****..most dynos read different numbers any ways..my truck when it had the same mods as you put down 240 on a mustang dyno..

on the street from a roll my truck will hang with high 14 sec cars. thats why i tought it was going to be run better times. guess i just need to get gears and a stall to get it moving.

would 4:10's and a yank 3000 be ok for a daily driver? i drive on the highway everyday.

i got 4.10's and a 3200 stall and i drive mine everyday..yea from a roll you can do ok at the end of first gear and second gear but the from a dig and then once you hit third gear your trucks a turd..4.10's and 3000 stall will help you alot
