Mods include Stainless Works LT headers, 16" magnaflow, CAI, Comp Cams 216/222 truck cam, non MDS lifters, TrueTrac, and dyno tune.

I also have the 6 speed trans, I'd love to swap in an 8 spd, maybe on down the road!

Wheel HP on dyno was 322 at 5800 rpm.

@Wild one , thanks for the help and tips! I need more practice too, this was my first time at the track! My first pass was 15.14.
The 8 speed swap is taking off a full 1/2 second for alot guys who've done the swap,if you need more encouragement,lol

I did 15.2 seconds 1/4 mile bone stock with at tires. Would love to see what it could do now with all my mods and 35s. Definitely faster now even being 300lbs heavier.

They're notriously inaccurate,the only one that is close is a Dragy,and they aren't exactly all that cheap.

Haha I do have a cheaper dongle and torque pro. I thought about running it to see how accurate its times are but I was afraid I'd be distracted, maybe next time.
I gotta wait till Sept 15 for the next Thursday night t&t, I work Fri nights when they usually have it dang it.

Yes, these trucks are capable of pulling that. I took mine at just about 4 months old to local test&tune. I have a 2019 quad cab, 3.21 gear, 5.& hemi, 4x4,and with me butt in the seat and my gear in the truck weighing in just under 6000lbs, on factory 17inch tires and pulled a 15.063 at 93mph.......
It is interesting how the 4 link rear allows our open diff rear ends to maintain same amount of force to each rear tire unlike a leaf spring rear and to actually launch full throttle and to actually hook up both tires and not tend to spin one..... Unless of course you get one wet and don't knock of enough water per launch.

I found that (and was told by guys at the track) that instead of trying to "heat" tires as they are not drag radials, to instead just drive around water box, back up and do a hard launch or 2 to knock crap off tires and then line up on the rubber already laid down. When I did this right, damn what a launch both tires full hook and I was gone....
Now if I could just learn to cut a reasonable light.... Any decent driver would think I was sleeping on every light... my reaction times sucked.. better part of a second, if not almost a full second every time.

Final note...done on standard 87 octane fuel, not even on the 89 recommended for best performance.

Dyno guy told me that it was not bad for a work truck, he did not know about the extra weight in the bed, it had a soft tonneau covering it.
AUX. Fuel Tank was empty

The weight in the bed if anything would of increased your dyno numbers by reducing wheel spin on the rollers. Last time my truck was on the dyno,we had to put 3 big 200lb guys in the box to help keep wheel slip to a mininium.
