Default Slow truck???

My truck is basically stock except for the 180 stat and a k&n. I was reading a post about the cpk mod and it said: "Is your truck sluggish and generally will not spin the tires from a stoplight, even with a 360?" Well I have a 360 and I can't spin the tires at wot from a stop on dry pavement...does everybody elses ram with a 360 spin em from a stop at wot? I bought my truck used so thats what I thought it had for power...am I wrong? Any thoughts appreciated

I bought mine new and have never been able to burn 'em off the line. Thing accellerates just fine though. I've got a pretty bad pinging problem that shows up when the weather gets cold (oddly enough). It's fine in the summer ... I need to check a few things, I guess.

i couldnt break my tires at all unless i had my foot on the break at first. i couldnt tell you which mods were best because i didnt do one at a time. runs pretty good right now. i'll be getting a fastman and an msd setup when i get my taxes back. after that i'll get some new gears and i think it'll be running the way i want it.

My 96 ext cab with a 318 and 3.55 gears will burn the right rear tire just fine.
