    Took my truck to TAD last night..........facepalm..........

    Lol I knew it was slow, but I didnt think it would be as slow as it is. I had a few things against me (Full tank of gas, 275/60/20's rolling, system, tuned on 89 octane) so she was heavy. And im sure that the cam with a stock converter doesnt help much lol, truck CRAWLS out of the hole.

    Anyway enough with the excuses lol. It went a best of 16.25 @ 90mph. I definately expected alot more considering it is cammed/full exhaust/intake/tuned/geared. Out of the hole and everytime the truck shifts it falls right on it's face bad. And when it shifts to third it is pretty much done for. I know a 3200 stall would wake the truck up big time, but im not wasting the money since it is getting a 6.0/4l80 swap.
