my truck will burn the crap out of the tires with the brake on, a little in a corner if the truck leans, and nothing but a chirp in a strait line, I hope to fix that problem soon. I dont like burning the tires all the time but if i get road rage i like to be able to do it lol

i have the old bridgestone dueler M/T's in 285/75R16 and i dont have any problems with them at high speed, the most ive had it up to was 120mph and the truck handled great i was suprised. im waiting on my new tires to see how they act under high speed though (firestone destination M/T 305/70R16)

Is there anything i can do? its 1994
Edit: with the 360
Fix your plenum. You will notice a big power increase if it has been blown a long time like yours probably has.

His truck only weighs at most 500 lbs more than yours and it is more likely much less than that. At lowest he can only have 4.10s which isn't very low.
