    So this afternoon was my first time ever at the track, and wow it was so much fun. Only took 2 passes and my 2nd run was my best at 15.933@85.64 mph. Was a little disapointed with that, my truck is a 02 chev 5.3 rsb Z71, w/ 4.10s headers and flowmaster cat back exhuast.

    Any suggestions on how to improve my time but still keep it a practical daily driver?

    Thanks Justin

    Sounds like you are ready for a NelsonPerformance.com tune. You&#39;ll improve your times tremendously with just a good tune. From there you can get about a 2800 rpm stall convertor, cold air induction, long tube headers... putting your truck on a diet is the first free thing you can do. Take off all things heavy that aren&#39;t needed, they waste fuel anyway.

    Welcome to the site. Great way to post your number 1 post, reporting race day results.

    Like Red said, Nelson tune is a must. Best bang for the buck mod there is...PERIOD.
    Gone, but not forgotten!

    Welcome

    The adiction begins and then the decision as to how far will you go... 13&#39;s or 12&#39;s

    Get the tune first then save some money and get the STS turbo
