    Man I NEED TRACTION
    The damn tires refuse to hook up . The best I did was a 13.82@105 with half of the first gear burning the tires; I need caltracs, slicks or something like that.
    Weather was great, outside temp was 65°
    I beated a 2002 Ford harley with 2.8 pulley easily and a 2002 stock LS1 corvette in a very close race, I only beat him with half a truck, he also had a lot of traction problems.

    Anyway I had a great time a the track and I hope to get better traction in a near future

    Hey great, that time should drop to a 13.5 with traction, at least.

    I bet you ran like a 2.4 60' lol, that truck needs a lot of traction help.

    At least you're back in the 13's and with traction problems.


    keep us updated,

    Yes traction is the key! You have a mid to low 13sec truck with traction.

    Thanks for all the replies guys, I'll keep you updated with more track times.
    And a big thanks to Allen and Joe, they are the ones that installed the pulley, tuning and shift kit and made this truck that fast
