I weighed 4920 at Amarillo.. Taking the tailgate, passenger and rear seat out, taking the 20s off the front for stock 16s.. Got ahold of some Mickey Thompson 28/10.5/15s that has a few passes that are a lot softer than the Hoosiers.. I don't see it loosing traction period..

i'm not confident enough in reading plugs to give recomendations to anyone elses setup. i will say that it needs FRESH plugs as in zero drive time. install plug, burnout, make pass and shut down at the stripe and coast to a stop for best results (sure yall know that). the engine also needs a load to show the conditions best...i'm sure this plug was fresh, but only a 3rd gear pull from 70-13x...not enough to leave a good fuel and timing mark. there are a few guys on tech that will give step by step things of what to do if you get them good pictures of a fresh plug that has zero track time and a full spray down the strip. i cant tell exactly where the timing mark is. was there alot of idle time after the pass? that could explain why it almost seems like 2 timing marks...if it's the mark at the base it has way too much timing and may burn a strap if you make a full 1/4 hit. on the dyno you're only hitting it for 4 or 5 seconds. 11 seconds on the track is more time to get things too hot. if it was my truck, i would lose some timing and make a full pass and pull atleast 2 plugs for comparison and go from there. once again i dont have much experiance reading plugs...just a lot of reading. post up on tech and see what they say. i love reading the plug reading threads over there. very informative.

This plug is the same as I like my women. Rich and retarded.
There was plenty of load to get a baseline which is what we were after. There is NO heat in the plug and the fuel will be able to be cleaned up some. Plan is to make a hit, check plugs and see what's goin on. Of course there will be more load on the track. I expect to be able to pull some more fuel and add 2-3* timing
