    Truck kinda slow

    well my buddy with a 5.3, 4.11 gears and a bigger cam gave me run today and I felt like I should have been able to take him.

    My truck has 3.73 rear and 285/75/16 mud terrains, the only thing I can think of is my the size and weight of my tires are slowing me down, check out my mods in my sig and tell me what you think I should do?

    His gears and smaller tires ate you up. Every body here says a 224 is small for a 6.0, yours is tiny.
