man I ran the truck alot tonight its amazing how it performs. I got some good videos to post tomorrow I completely murdered a single cab hemi and an old 5.0 mustang that called me out and a old turboed ricer and I was spinning and bottoming out the whole time lol traction is a HUGE issue right now.

That setup should run mid to low 13's. My old crew cab 4.8 ran 8.9 1/8 which would be a 13.9-14.0ish 1/4 with just bolt ons and a converter/dr setup. Congrats man! I do think you are going to need more converter to get a great short time though...I would be suprised if your setup pulls any better than a 1.9, but overall this should be a great running truck!

thanks! We will see what she can do next friday.. gonna be spinning pretty bad though

Here is a good comparison, I donno what his short times are though. Based on his mph he's probably cutting some high 1.7-1.8. Just to give you some encouragement =)

haha I saw that video last year right after I bought my truck and thats where I got the idea for all the stuff I got. he has a 3600 stall I believe and 4.10's. he did 13.7 on motor and 12.7 on spray thats damn good.

Your truck is going to run good I bet allenp at the track. The circleD 278mm is a good budget friendly converter. With what Rhino is saying, Later on if you upgrade converters a 9.5" or a 10" would help you get off the line much quicker and shave off a few more tenths at least and really impress you.

I am looking at converters myself.
FTI in Florida and PTC converters out of alabama could probably make you a 9.5" or 10" converter for around $500 or less depending on upgrades and stall speed. I have researched and looked around for days and they have good deals for our trucks with a smaller than 278mm unit.

LS1 camaro guys over at ls1tech run the PTC converters with no problems and they are very affordable. I noticed it's hard contacting some companies atm though because of the holidays, but I will probably go with PTC or FTI.

Yeah I want to get a 3600 pretty bad now.. Idk but im gonna start hunting and piecing together some stuff for next years build. Im gonna go with an ly6.

truck looks good Allen. Good luck. I was trying to spray off the line on slicks and was spinning the rims inside the tires. My own fault off road wheels and slicks.

Did the traction issue come with the stall ? Lol my 11' 4.8 rcsb cammed with those mods minus a stall .. Has no traction issues ha
