    Default Little disappointed...

    Took the truck out on a 2 mile long airstrip to datalog on my superchip handheld on the 87 octane tune and ran my best time of 15.5 in the 1/4 and my worst time of 15.71 (shifting manually)

    Do those numbers seem a little slow with an 08 exhaust and handheld?

    Yeah it seems a bit low. I know I ran 15.2 in my truck with just the AEM intake, BUT do you know how heavy your truck is? Also, remember, at the track you can launch harder since they use sticky VHT, which i'm sure is worth a couple tenths. How much gas did you have?

    I had about 3/4 of a tank of gas, but I thought for sure I'd be low 15's high 14's. Am I expecting too much?

    No those are good expectations. Get the gas to less than 1/4. Also take out any weight you don't need. Also don't stall it in the staging lanes. I just floor it on the 3rd amber and it hauls.

    No you should be high 14's low 15's, but its hard to say without running at the actual track. 3/4 tank of gas is a lot too LOL

    Exactly, your 60' time would have probably sucked (probably a 2.5) on the street. You should be able to pull al 2.1 or 2.2 at the track, and they say every .1 gained in the 60', is worth .2 in the 1/4 mile....thats what they say anyway
