Default Update on How trucks running after cam

Well i have about 300 miles on the new cam and I was taking a friend for a ride. Believe it or not I the first launch I spun the front tires off the line on dry pavement! . I was like DAYUM! Ive done it before without the stall but on wet pavement. So I launched again and spun all four and felt the truck get a little sideways! I guess its learning the tune nicely. So im really excited about this mod. I plan on going ot the track on stock 16 inch rims, but I might have traction issues. The tires im running on my 20s are General Grabber UHPs. They have really good traction so its impressive to me that I spun all four on dry pavement. Cant wait to get to the track!!!!

Wow! Sounds impressive. I can't get all 4 in 4hi to chirp unless it's damp, then it's on. When are you going to hit the track?

Probably withing the next 3-4 weeks. Im moving into my new house this weekend. So thats out of the question. When I ran the 13.7 it was without cam and with my VHO rims on. They weight 80 lbs a piece. I never have done any weight reduction. SO the stock rims should help out alot.
