    Correct. Only changes where 3.73 to 4.10s. And radials at 28.5 to full slick 29 tall. Oh and about 3500 miles since its a DD.

    that's what I meant, tire height is also part of the gear change.

    if you can hook a drag radial consistantly, run it.

    old mod list: H/C/I/N/E/G 408
    new mod list: 5.3, gears/posi, mufler and tune : (

    what was DA for both times out? can't get a solid comparison without that.

    my experience has the radials as being faster, but the slicks as more repeatable, and easier to recover in the event of wheel spin.

    for manual transmission combos, throw all that out...bias ply only for max performance.
    2000 ECSB Silverado 2wd 5.3/4l60e. basically stock
    1990 Camaro 5.3/t56...not as stock
    1971 Chevelle ls6 cammed 5.3/700r4 turbo build.
