I forgot to mention that I ran with the tow/haul button on, is that ok or a bad move.
i dont think it really makes a diff. did you switch from the street tune to the race tune while at the track? if so the truck prolly didnt fully learn the tune yet, usually it takes my truck like 60 miles to learn

Then thats probably what the problem was. I should have just left the one tune on there, instead of switching at the track. I thought it was just the tranny that needed a couple minutes to relearn.

load the race tune and drive for a couple of days...alot of guys use Xtreme Race for a daily driver tune...it will feel weird with the convertor locking in all but first gear...at least load it and drive to the track(if it's more than a few miles from home)...leave tow/haul off....the bugs got you now!!

its mostly the tranny that has to relearn. thats what i do is load it up a couple days before the track to make sure its learned. i kinda drive it hard those 2 days cause if you drive it easy, it will learn how you drive, then you go to the track an drive like a mad man an it is like wtf. it will still run good but you wont get the most

Yeah, Im going to gove it another try b/c I found a big boost leak about a week ago. About 2 mos ago I cleaned my egr valve and must not have screwed it back on tight enough. I went to check it and the bolts were really loose and there was an oil redidue all over the manifold from where it was leaking. When I was racing I was only pushing 15psi. Fixed the leak and the power difference is amazing. It pushes 30psi easy now. Im sure it will bring my times waaaay down.

Im running 8.7 consistently with 31's I am launching at 2000 RPMs EXACTLY if i go like 100 more RPMS it will roll through the brakes. By the way the RT is NOT calulated in your ET so no matter how late you leave your ET will still be the time.

Also i changed from street to race to street while at the track and the race tunes was about.1 faster and both streets ran 8.87

4x4 Launch with a CC SB
