Certainly no expert, but some things:
H2 take offs are like 315 BFG's. Really nice footprint.
Like above, weight forward as possible under the rules, as low as possible, and hitch as far forward as possible, and as high as possible.
Silly things, move seats up as far as you can. Fold down rear seats. Make sure all fluids are full including windshield wipers.
Obviously show up with more weight, then remove. All scales are different. I use sand bags up against the cab lengthwise.
I move the factory rubber stop downward on adjustable bolts to get the legal suspension travel. Hard stops can induce bouncing sometimes.
There is also a right amount of wheel-spin on a loose track. Too much is bad as you need to climb up out of your rut, too little is bad because you're not using as much HP as you can.

I will definatley set up my truck differently now. Thanks for the input . Last year when i was looking at tires i had them narrowed down to the dura tracs and the bfg a/t but i went with the bfg a/t cause they were way cheaper
the rules are real battle because its more just a local class not an actual sanctioned class, so there is a base set of rules but they have a really hard time teching the trucks, and some people get away with some dumb s***
. we tried to get a work stock class but no luck, so unless we spend a lot of money on all the safety stuff, we outta luck.

try going to who ever is running the shows your at and offer to tech trucks yourself? i've done that before granted guys dont like me looking under their hood but then again if you have nothing to hide it shoudln't be a problem
It really depends on the track. Some of the tracks back home have very little clay in them and have poor grooming. In some cases mud tires are a must. What do other trucks run that pull against you?
seems to be alot of bfg at's. i was thinkin when i start to get a bit more serious get a set of interco trxus sts'. thoughts??
I think the sts's are a more popular pulling tire, Good luck finding a set, I have been on the hunt for damn near a year now and have spoke with the factory and as of right now they are not being made due to the economy I was told.
oh is that right? i hadnt heard that, i just saw that summit has them on there site and it doesnt say anything bout that.
I just bought a set of brand new sts truxus from 4wheelparts.com. 33x12.5r17. Should be here in a few days. They said they had a few sets left.
If the track is tight, and you have a lot of tire, it bogs hard on the shifts. This can often be combated by moving your shift points way the heck up and staying out of T/H mode.
I find even on the tight tracks my truck still blows the tires off im gunna work on suspension and see how that helps.
its all in the set up i pulled against guys with a5k's and built this and built that made 100-150 more hp more than me...i regularly handed them their behinds
