Lol James your truck is one of my favorites, rollin on 37s? runnin low to mid 12s.... impressive :hug:but I do wonder what your truck would run with a lighter setup.
I don't know. I really would like to hit the track this winter but I'm afraid I may not pass tech. Firebird is being strict on rules and I believe my crank height is too high. I'll go try one of these days. She should be quicker than before

Agreed also. On my CCSB LBZ stock twin set-up with "E" rated worn out A/T Michelins and PYOs I have cut 1.60 60 times with just spring clamps and proper tire psi.
I highly recommend looking at tire PSI from front to back. Most people look at tire PSI how it is sitting in the pits. This is not how the truck goes down the track.
The old thinking the front is heavier so the front tires need more air does not work if running decent HP because of weight transfer. Have someone video the truck at the different lengths of the track, 60,300,660,etc and see what the tires are doing, then average things. I run close to the same psi from the front to the back, this way I'm not scrubbing speed from the T-Case fighting the front to back ratio difference. There is no perfect answer as every truck weight ratio from the front to back is different. There is ET to gained by looking outside the box at tire pressures.
Listen to this man. His advice helped me to consistent 1.6x-60fts on Toyos/PY0s and low 12s in a CCSB. I even pulled off a 1.59 once. 36F/32R was where I started the air pressures and went from there.
Ask Rob how well a 4:10 gear set does in the front end with 3.73s in the back lmao.

Hey, I was just transfer case testing for GM. Darn T-Cases are amazing holding up to 80mph bunny hops. That was an interesting ride.
in his defense, it was assumed the front diff he got had 3.73s in it
:roflmao: :roflmao: i cant believe you didnt break anything!
