    It seems like it should have a low to mid 13 in it.
    I have only had my truck at the track a couple times and both times I sat in smoke with no traction.
    I am probably going with some caltracs sometime soon, and since you already are planning that, you should be alright.
    Slicks or drag radials may also be an order.

    Yeah im getting a set of caltracs soon too i have 285/30/20 drag radials on it right now. also it might help that i put the actual short throw t-56 shifter in mine and cut anothe hole in my floor. the shifts ARE EXTREMELY quick and very close together. the truck hooks like no ones business... the springs on the obs trucks suck my uncle put worm screw hose clamps on either side of my springs and clamped them together... i kind of laughed at first but WOW it made a million times difference... so hopefully a set of cal tracs should fix it all together... the truck absolutely hauls ass.. and i still need an K&N intake, caltracs, and a few other small goodies. maybe some N02 down the road a bit. so my goal right now is low 13's and someday id like to break 12's

    I love it when a plan comes together! lol Sounds like a great ride. Be sure to let us know how you cure the fuel level gauge dilema. Would like to know for myself.

    Ok guys, this has been driving me crazy. What I've come up with is you need to put a 96/97 fuel pump and sending unit in your tank or install some type of resistor in line. In 98 the fuel pump and sending unit changed and that's when they started sending the signal through the PCM. If I can find out the proper resisitor I'll post it. I'm thinking a 100 ohm to start out with. The 98-2000 cluster work fine in the 96/97's with no modifications so it has to be the sending unit and fuel pump assembly.
