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

    Hands down, its your tires. my 5.3 with 3.73 and same tires run mid-high 15's in the quarter and gas mileage blows. Granted, its a 5.3 but when i drive around, i can feel the power being sucked up by them. Grab a buddy's tires that are smaller and see if it makes a difference.

    I think I will do that, my buddy said I can borrow his set of tires if I dont burn them up seeing as there brand new, I will try as tempting as it is. Oh and P.S. has anyone tried the GMPP ASA cam?
