Sounds like tracks must be sticky cause I have absolutely no traction at all when launching at 2k. And launching at idle on a slight uphill = no traction. Good for show not for go. lol!

I'd like to know what kind of supercharger they put on that thing because it sure is set up right.

I wasn't asking about the guy in the vid, I'm asking V8440.

Really? Even on the street I've got no issues, and the track wasn't exactly prepped great.

Edit: Reading that again, you haven't been to the track with the truck yet have you? I guess I'd have problems launching from 2k on the street too. Even a poorly prepped track hooks a hell of a lot better than any street! I really have no issues from idle though.

I am looking into converting the bolt pattern to something with more wheel options...

Makes sense to me, those wheels do look good with your theme. Do you have any issues at night with your headlights? Whats visibility like?

Actually yes....the tint makes 'em dull, but I have some HIDs in the fogs and at night they look fine... hoping to install some HIDs in the headlights soon...

If your running 13.7 stock I wonder if you can hit 12s with just an intake,exhaust,tuner and some sticky tires. And of coarse some good weather and driving.
