I got to do 3 runs total. Best I got was:

2.373 60ft
6.518 330ft
9.942 660ft
72.18 mph
12.857 1000ft
15.318 1320ft
90.89 mph

This was with no weight reduction and with the 22's. I was hoping to be in the 14's.

looking at your e.t. compared to your trap speed, I would say your 22"s killed you. If you get a set of 17's or 18's and hook up off the line, you should have no problem getting into the 14's, especially if you ditch the spare and tailgate.

With those 22's, you did not spin off the line at all did you?

If you couldn't tell, you didn't spin or at least did not spin much. I bet if you drop the tailgate and spare you would be in the 15.1s. You could easily get in the 14s with lighter wheels and sticky tires.

The spare on this thing is a temporary tire so it probably doesnt weigh much, but next time Ill give it a shot!

if you had ESP on when you launched, I guarantee you didn't spin it.

When you hit the button that says off and the light goes on does that mean its off? Cause I didnt do that at the track. But I did do some great one wheel peel burnouts. :roflsquared:

yeah, hit the button, it goes "off" (not all the way.......but still............off) - and yeah - the only time I have ever lit 'em a bit was with it off. I got a 1 wheel peel during our last GTG..........that was fun. Stupid non LSD ********.

Temp spare... WTF.... no full size. Damn, I didn't know you could get such a thing on a full size truck. Well, I guess you learn something new everyday.

Very close to that.

5450 lbs in my case (weighed it at the track without me in it).

These are some HEAVY track monsters.
