Most interesting part of that to me is the trap speed, gaining 2mph on the same day is significant.

How long did it take to get your catch can? I ordered mine like 3 weeks ago...

That resulted in the best ET and Trap for me. I did not test IDLE to WOT or AUTO, maybe next time.
Were you unable to hook at 2k in 2wd off the line?

Sucks a cam swap is so much more involved in these newer trucks...

2 mph increase was the first pass 2 weeks before this day of racing. Different days and testing. That day it was staying at 75/76 mph.

I believe it was like 2/3 weeks.

I did not try, but i would guess unless its a very prepped track, 2WD would spin.

Yeah, seems I have to drop the front dif and steering rack. A local guy put a cam in his 5.3 and has the knowledge and tools. I'm saving for a cam/drive train kit now. Probably the same cam the turbo Dubai guys are ordering from BTR. Mild cam with fuel lobe

No, not going to spend 1200 on headers to use them for 1 year and have to re sell when I go turbo again. I'm leaving the stock exhaust until I turbo.

You're echoing what I would love to do with mine. I will probably pull the trigger on a GMPP 3.5" exhaust for mine as well.
