New Drag shoes installed today.

I have been having issues with traction with a Hoosier 28x9.5 slick, best 60' was a 1.55 but had to baby throttle. Searched and searched for a slightly taller and wider tire and landed on these 29.5x10.5 Hoosier radial slicks. I believe this will solve my traction issues I just hope my mph does not suffer too much from the taller tire. Bought some .5" wheel spacers because I thought tire would make contact with brake line but it actually cleared it.

That's moving, esp. for what looks like a daily driver.

They should make a differance.Are you still running the front swaybar?

 

[Nick@GotExhaust]

Yes I do have the front sway bar installed.

Yes I do have the front sway bar installed.

Try removing it .It lets the front end come up quicker and helps with weight transfer,and unless you're hard core auto crossing the truck,you won't even notice it gone . I don't run front swaybars on any of my toys,and i still play on roads like this every once inawhile,i'm only an hour away from the mountains,and still play in them lol

 

[Josh22855]

I'll probably drop the front sway bar before next trip to the track, about to do a complete fuel system upgrade, then add a small amount of nitrous into the mix of it.

If anything you'll go faster because that 60' will drop further. 125 is plenty of MPH to go deeper into the 10's

Here is best pass so far with a very good DA. 128.5mph and 10.77 quarter.
I think a small spray of nitrous will cool of air charge a good bit and force more oxygen down them cylinders! Late May/early June I should be going back to track to get deeper into the 10's!!!

I told myself all I wanted was a 10 second truck, now I am telling myself all I want is a 9 second truck. Hahaha
