I'm sure it did,... It's been so long since i've ran with the stock turbo that I can't really compare them anymore.
My new tunes are pretty aggressive and my first run the 38r stalled and my truck took a nose dive which was pretty weird. I don't know if it was a fuel, oil, or air related. I had to finesse it around the 100 ft mark to get around it or turn down to the 100 econ tune.
And the tranny was awesome, so yes, that definitely helped.
They wouldn't attach to e-mail so I had to reduce the file size. I uploaded them successfully. My number was 208 but they messed one up and it says 202. It is my run though.
This is a 4wd I'm assuming since you have 33's? If you can knock that 60' down some (should be able to get it to about a low 1.9 or high 1.8) I bet you hit 14's pretty solidly. What boost are you launching at and what tire pressures are you running?
right at 12 psi on launches. I try to be as consistents as I can. and I had 60-65psi in the tires. I never adjusted the tire pressure to race. Just ran what i run with regular driving.
high? what should my 60ft be with my mods? I'm surprised i even broke below a 2 second 60ft.
I have tried launching at 15psi plenty of times but I don't see any difference in my times from 12ish-15psi, so I launch at 12 to take care of my tranny.
By next year I'll have a set of lightweight wheels and shorter tires just for the strip. I'm sure my times will get down then. And my next investment is the new stealth pump and maybe a small shot of juice if if I have enough play money.
I don't know if it's possible or not but I want to be able to break into 13's with stock injectors before I upgrade those. I guess I'll find out when someone calls me an idiot or spend a bunch of money trying.
That 60' is a hell of a lot better then mine. I could never get below a 2.2, tranny would just slip till rpms were at 3800 then it would bang into second.
Going to the track this Wednesday. Hoping for a 14.5.
As for 13's, I hate to say it can't be done, but unless you cut a LOT of weight, it won't happen. Stock nozzles won't flow enough, no matter how much oil. Now, 400 bucks for a nozzle swap, and you might be close. I had planned on it, but I doubt I'll go that route.
If you can get your CCSB to around 6K lbs, you may be able to run a 13.99...
I think people under estimate what it takes to drop a full second of of your 1/4 mile time. Yes, dropping a full second off of a 16 second 1/4 mile is easy. But the faster you go, the more power you have to add to go faster.
Imjosh's truck went 13.99 or faster with stockers I think, but that was a single cab 2wd.

completely understandable... I'm still learning. I've been burning donuts in the dirt my whole life. Just this year I got into drag racing. Thanks to this place:doh:
ha! after the drags were over i went down to all the pullin trucks and stood next to your truck for 10 minutes scratching my head. I recognized the truck but i just couldnt put a name with it. Lol
Glad those tunes worked out so well for you Kenny. I knew you were going to like them when we were programming the chip before the race.
Also, it was good to see you again. It was a good thing you did not stick around to watch me pull as it was 2:00 in the morning before I finally got to hook.
I ended up in 10th place out of like 12 or 13 trucks in the open class. My pull was 264ft and some change. There was some pretty mean trucks in that class and first place went to a Duramax they claimed had just dynoed 1600hp the week before.
If not for the tranny and having to let out of the fuel to get it to shift I would have done better I am sure. This was the first pull with the nitrous and man what a difference when it hit.
Next weekend big smokey and I are installing a new fuel pump and Matt's tunes on his truck. It should be intresting to see what 2 different trucks will do. He lost over a second when he switched to his current tunes.
