We only have 1/8 mile. Ran 4 times...Consistent 8.8xx!!!???
I was launching around 10psi...Any recomendations!!!??
My trans shifted a lot smoother once i got rid of the de-fueling with PPE. EFI live is coming next week hopefully...


p.s.- I stayed in 4wd the whole way down, but would i benefit switching out of it half way down??? Would that hurt anything??? thanks guys!! Just now getting into it since the new trans :woott:

Don't switch out of 4wd, even if you tried I don't think it would switch anyway..:D with a built trans you can put more power than that PPE standard, I would either upgrade to PPE hot +2 or go EFI. I usually leave around 8-10psi and it works pretty good, what is your mph in the 1/8? With the mods in my sig my truck has been 12.65 @ 105 with an 8.0x 1/8th time @ 85ish I believe? I think you have outgrown your programmer if you are wanting to go much faster.

Good luck with it :thumb:

It is night and day as long as its the right tuner. You definitely need to upgrade the standard. If it was me I would get efi live before the hot+2 just because u can tune it to your needs. U can make 500hp pretty easy once the trans is built and fuel upgrades are present.

My truck put down 494/956 on a dynojet dyno, plenty of guys have made more on a stock charger and injectors but Im pretty happy with the performance went 12.65 @ 105. I would definitely be looking into get EFI if you want to go drag racing, and get it from a good tuner, Creatures of the Night performance offers Idaho Rob tuning, good guys there and Rob is one of the best in the Duramax world.

Back to the OP work on your 60 foot times. Every tenth in the 60 foot is good for 2 tenths in the quarter.

It's a new season, it stays:2birds:.... Took you longer than I expected to see that:rofl:

OP don't feel bad. My twin turbo truck only managed a 14.03 in the quater... I really need to get my rail issues figured out:mad:
