Default First trip to the track

Went to the track for the first time and I'm very happy how it went. Mainly focused on getting a stock time slip and quickest tuned 93 octane pass. It was 55 degrees with a 10mph head wind. I had a 1/4 tank of gas, full street weight. My truck with me in it is 5500lbs with 3.42 gears and 265/65/r18 wheels and tires. Stock was 15.20 @ 89.86 with a 2.13 60 ft. Quickest pass was 14.64 @ 93.42 with a 2.08 60ft. Stock pass was stalled to 2400rpm, launched in 4wd, left in Drive, with Traction Control off. Tuned passes was stalled to 2400 rpm, launched in 4wd, manually shifted to 6200rpm, with Traction Control off. Next weekend will be e85 passes.

Stock on the far right, fastest on the left.

Hey Det nice setup. Any idea what kind of power you're putting down? Any times? I think that's my trucks future maybe next year except I'll likely keep the 6 spd. New Era does good work! OP...good stuff!
