Went to Virginia motor sports park tonight, only got two runs in since they were doing qualifying for this weekends events. But here's my best runs stats: I launched in 4 wheel high at 10psi, R/T .494, 60ft. 1.83, 1/8 mile 8.39 at 81mph, and 1/4 mile at 13.25. I'm in the process of making some trac bars and buying a lockup box and hoping that can get me into the 12's. What you guys think, have any tips? Currently editing my video I'll add it when I get done.
Trucks first time at the track

I'd lower it a little more in the front and like kappa said launch a little harder. If your are hooking good now a harder launch will get ur 60ft down and should be damn close if not in the high 12s
My avatar pic my cv axles where just straight. And you can see its toed in a little on the lunch. That launch was at 15psi and it spun a little out of the hole, but still pulled a 1.7x 60 and a 13.1 on my 22s.now that I have my front end lowered more it launches straight. Still waiting to get back to the track though

What kinda air pressure are you running in your tires? Last time I ran with 35-40psi in them I spun off the line all 4 at 10-12psi of boost lowered them down to 25-30psi hooked and ran a 8.4 with a 1.8 60ft.
Yea I would def let some air out maybe go down to 30-35 all around and launch at 15-18lbs if your front end is beefed up and see how it feels. I ran my times with just EGR blocked, intake, exhaust, and tuned and my max effort is stock tranny safe roughly 150.

yeah your front end didn't jump up to hard at all. looked like a pretty gentle launch. Lower the nose drop the pressure in the tires, and slap that black bitch in the ass. make a few launches and progressively launch at higher boost levels, keep pushing it until your break traction.
If you start feeling the wheel jerking and front end of the truck jumping left and right, then back off the boost at the launch and think about more bracing for the centerlink.

Let us know when you make it back to the track, I'm hoping to go the Friday. Maybe I'll have some new times
Launch looked good, Are you sure that was your hottest tune? I didn't even see the slightest puff of smoke.
Yea all the way to the right "max effort" if I'm just cruising on the highway and hit the throttle it will give a decent puff. I've even changed tunes while accelerating and there's defiantly a difference. And if it were backwards I don't think optimized stock would run like that but I'll email kory and see what's up.
