    Unhappy Spun Like Crazy!

    I went to the track yesterday and final got to run the truck! I went a 14.80 in the 1/4mile and my 1/8mile was 9.62! I know i my truck is faster i went a 14.90 with flowmaster exhaust and cold air intake! Now i added LT Headers off road y-pipe and TB Spacer ran only a tenth a second faster! Not to mention I spun all the way through my 60ft time! I have got some bad traction problems even with 10psi in the rears tires! I need some kinda tune and traction help! Any advice would be great! I am going to put cut-outs on this week and see how much that helps!

    If you dont have a nelson tune, get one. It will make a world of difference. If you dont have a locker, Get one. also consider caltracks, and drag radials/ slicks for race day.

    10 psi in slicks or street tires? TB spacer is worthless or so I have heard.

    +1 on the tb spacer and when i commented on your video,it sounds like your truck shifts too soon...could be the Dyno tune,they are great for horsepower but not managed well on the street

    buy a throttle body spacer from NitrousOutlet, they make a lot more power.

    Maybe Cowl's onto something. If you're really losing that much down low then you're probably losing some up high because a 9.62 is only a little slow for a 14.80. What was your 60' and 1/4 mph?

    It's $375 unless you go FI then it's $490. Lifetime retunes like Cowl said. All you have to do is pay shipping if you are doing mail order. You'll definitley notice a difference and slicks will be a must!!!!
