    Need help putting the boost on the ground. Bought the slicks, but the local track sucks and I wanna show off with out spinning through the 60'.

    Is there a 4-link setup for the 04 chevys? How about different shocks? Traction bars?

    Buy bigger slicks. How much pressure are you running? Anything more than 15 lbs has got to be way too much. Get more weight on the rear end somehow.

    ALLEN&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; &#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

    I&#39;m ashamed of you. "turn the boost down"???? Are you nuts? I expected a response like, "add a 4-link, tub it, get a funny car body for it". I want the fastest 4-door truck. I believe you are intimidated by my truck and are trying to hold me down to make your AV look better.

    60# Injectors are here. Let me know when you can tune again.
