Mines pathetic @ 9 flat to 60. Need to practice launches though truck seems to go harder with a hint of spin so still have some tweaking to do.

Mods don't always have the positive effects we all hope for. Before I installed the Edge TC and Fastman TB I ran a 6.24. I installed the Fastman TB and it felt flat and before I could get a run in I installed the TC. The TC was doing what it was suppose to but the engine still didn't feel crisp as with the original TB. I rebooted the PCM and recal'd the throttle and ran 6.92/6.94 using a little brake and smacking the thottle. This gives me too much wheel spin. Finally got to launching with no brake and just rolling the throttle on in a smooth motion. This got me back to 6.25. If it drys out here I want to play with more launches and figure what time it is going to settle out at. Then I'm going to re-install my original TB and see what happens. I just can't believe the Fastman TB didn't give me a positive result. Isn't bench racing fun???

Brother, that ride of yours is all truck. Nothing wrong with the time.

You have a superchips huh? If you can get a hold of a dsp and set your throttle calibration to make it a little better the Fastman TB really shines

I don't have that throttle calibration on my SC and I still like the performance I have gotten from the fastman TB.

Haha yeah I guess. Did some research and the trucks stock curb weight is about 6200 lbs plus all my mods and that heavy *** topper shell plus me and fuel I will be just under 7k. I would like to see something in the high eights this summer maybe an E fan or some midlengths and a new Y. We shall see.

Good mod list, I can recommend the eFan as a good move.

7000 is a lot of weight to get moving.

I don't know anything I can do other than to check the gasket and re-cal the throttle position. The TB looks great. I'll switch back and forth to see if I feel any difference. All suggestions are appreciated. I'm scheduled for the body shop Wednesday thru Friday, so I'll mess with the TB this weekend.

Yeah might be looking at a custom flex a lite setup with the cool controller and some custom bottles to look after the washer fluid/overflow duties. We shall see.
