    Yeah that's exactly why I was a little disappointed, I have an 08 with a K&N Filter, FM super 44, and superchips on 87 Octane.

    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
    Lol, yeah you nailed my 60' dead on at 2.5 sec...

    Do you think 3/4 of a tank, FST, and bad tires would justify my times?

    I think it did. I see you have a tool box in the bed. If you can get that out and get your gas to 1/4 or less. It would lower your times. Also if your at the track do a good burn out and get the tires hot. Ive gone and just lined up without doing a burnout and i get no traction.

    Keep in mind, not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, the data logger isn't golden. The airstrip you were at could've had an incline you didn't notice, bad traction, and the data logger is just that, a logger. Nothing golden like a track would measure...Keep in mind also, DA has a role in everything too.

    Don't fret on those times so much, take it to the track and see what she runs. Don't forget to have fun though

    That's exactly right, those things have to be positioned perfectly to maintain any type of accuracy, and then they still aren't like the timing lights on a track. The handhelds are pretty good for seeing improvements when modding though, before vs after type stuff.

    Thanks for the support guys, once I get new tires I'll take a few runs just for kicks to see how it compares. I suppose my time could be a lot better if I prepped my truck up a little more i.e. emptying toolbox, 1/4 tank of gas etc.

    Don't know till you try! My truck in the 1/8 ran a 10.1 with a perunner bumper and 1/4 tank of gas and 38psi in the tires. I bet my best friend in his 2008 gmc 2500HD with the 6.0L by .2, we had been talking shit sence we both got are trucks over which one was faster and this proven it!
