it is fun to drive. easy to control. completely rips from a roll but from a stop it just spins. we got the slicks on and tried all kinds of things with no luck at all(on the street). hope the track works better for us.

Looks like a nice setup for pinks, if you can find any traction. One little trick I've done is un-bolt the front drivers side shock to throw some weight on the right rear tire. If you have drag shocks on the front (which I don't) it may be a waste of time though. Best of luck!

If I'm correct, you also ran 18psi on the 4.8L when it was in your truck? I'd say the 4.8/5.3L's are standing proud around you.
