I don't think that people are hatin' on them, but your already at a disadvantage with a smaller motor. Just out of curiosity, was your truck tuned with 20's? and didn't you just switch to 17's?

I had charlie switch it before I went to the track.... So it was adjusted to the smaller ones... But I think the stall is a big problem for my time I could drop .4 on the launch then a few tenths after the 1-2 shift when it's in the power band ..

let em hate! the 4.8's are potent, they just need a little forced induction. as far as 60's go, on street tires i cant go any faster then a 2.3x 60 ft and that nets me a 12.9 @113 on slicks is a 1.67 11.8 @ 114. that start is so critical

Not a 4.8 hater as much as a bang for the buck shopper,How much have you spent to beat a 5.3? isnt this post about going slowwww ? what about getting beat by hemi's?
For the up front cost of $800 more for a 5.3 ,im my mind that's the best bang for the buck.
You spend enough $$$ you could have made a 4.3 fast as hell to
