Hey Jarrod,
Told you they didn't work. Your truck should be running faster...know doubt.
What rear gears do you have?
What octane gas do you run?
What was the temp outside?
have you tried to reset the SBEC before racing?
Know anybody that can check your timing via a diagnostic computer? I
think the max adjustment is 10 Deg BTC.
How's your gas mileage? (retarded timing will make it suck)
From the looks of your times,, your not making alot of power low or on the
top side
Do you know of anyone else with a 97 truck like yours?
What times do they run?
Let me know .... will figure somethin out....
Got to go back to work
