Pay close attention to the DA when you're racing it,they're naturally aspirated and are very sensitive to DA changes.
To many guys add a few mods then take it to the track and are disappinted when their truck is a few tenths slower then their buddies truck in Texas,and don't realize there can be several thousand feet differance in the DA(density altitude),and that will slow their truck down a fair bit.
How did the DA numbers compare to your last outing?

dont know. i think the biggest difference in the ET was just about traction, it was hotter outside and more cars racing and putting down rubber

the truck has been really great since the suspension, wheel, and tire changes.

it'll bottom out on really nasty bumps if i don't slow down but its pretty rare even on ****** roads. pretty stiff 8/10 for shocks front and rear but not bad.

the hemifever tune is nice, i like the quicker shifts with the transmission tune especially.

getting between 22-23 on the highway and maybe like 19 combined with no MDS i don't do that much city driving really

You want the shocks stiff on the rear,so it forces the tires into the pavement.When the truck squats,it's actually taking weight off the rear tires.Ideally you want the front loose so it'll come up,and the rear tight,that'll usually give you your best weight transfer,and will plant the rear tires the best.

i was having some hideaway subs put in the truck and they mistaken a side air bag wire for some other wire and when they turned it on it blew the driver side airbag off lol.

they have to have the truck for about a week to replace the parts and put it back together. sucks lol
