Make sure you over inflate your horsepower numbers and say you're running a 300 shot with 300 over injectors... And a 6" lift and 38's....

Nice runs but why the heck are you running so much air in those tires. On the track or in general. Must ride like a tank

Small update - the truck is slowly getting there! Still not where I expect it to be power wise, but I don't have a whole lot of time to be messing with that at the moment, so I'll tinker with that more in the coming weeks. But, for now, I'm learning how to race it again, so that's fun! I think my tires are a little too bald and hard to cut any decent 60' any more without airing them down. I've been running it with 65psi in the front and 80 in the rears... Couldn't get much below a 1.8.

Anyway, it ran a best of 12.0 @ 113.4 which translates to ~830 by the calculator. Density altitude was ~ 7900' when I checked it.

I tried everything I can think of to embed these damn videos, and it won't work... will someone embed these please?

You have to remove the "s" after http , it's a YouTube security thing.

Honestly because it kept TPMS happy lol I can't handle lights on the dash. I bought the TPMS tool from H&S but I haven't messed with it yet.

Doesn't ride too bad with Icon shocks lol

I do the same thing, I would love to run lower pressure when I'm not towing but the light drives me crazier than the harsher ride.

This. The light and warning annoy me. Wish I knew someone with an IDS close by as the dealers by me don't seem to have a clue.

I don't think tpms can be changed with ids, I could be wrong.

JD, sorry for the derail.

hey guys checks out the TPMS thread I'm going to bump.

I did get a good race in it Friday night heading home from dinner that you guys might enjoy.

So Friday night, there was supposed to be a big car meet in town with a few hundred attendees. Girlfriend and I were leaving dinner and pulled out onto one of the bigger main roads into town which was just a couple miles from the meet and I saw a silver vette go by...

I was catching him as he was leaving a light (I slipped it in 4x4) and as I rolled up to him, he hammered it. So, I hammered it too lol about 40 mph he was spinning, shifted and hooked and we ran side by side til 90 or so when he let off.

At the next light, he asked what my truck had done, and said he was going to the car meet... Decided I'd follow him and try to play, but he wouldn't go again. My girlfriend had a couple minutes worth of video of me provoking him, but he wasn't having it.

Come to find out, it's got a built 432 with heads, cam, trans and nitrous. Assuming he used no nitrous when we were messing around, but I was still happy with blowing his mind. Shows how bad altitude effects n/a cars
