> Hi all, 2k QC 4.7 5spd. 3.55. LSD
> I was a little disappointed last night at the drag strip.
> My best pass was a 15.89 at 84 mph.
> The reason i am not happy is when my truck was stock i ran a 15.85@ 84 mph.
> Now i have a Jet stage 2, intense performance stage 2, bosch 4417 +4, 180 t
> stat and a Gibson single side swept.
> What gives?
> I think 2 things could be a factor.
> 1. I put R/T wheels and tires. They are 1 inch taller that my stock tires,
> that would change the gear ratio?
> 2. There was a pretty good head wind last night plus it was pretty damp.
