Default Truck

I'm running about the same truck as you, I just got 4:10, posi, tractionbars, bbk tb, cold air, 170 t, MPT Tune, and magnaflow. How much louder did the mak y pipe make it and was there a decent horsepower increase?Also how you like the outlet plate kit. I live just 10 miles from them and going to get one. The air/fuel staying safe on the gas?

Truck looks like it runs great, Small traction issue

The Y pipe probably made it twice as loud when you hit it from 2000-3000 then it's not as bad but I like it, I haven't gotten to use the spray yet the kit went on great, it made good power, which is why I havent used it yet lol traction issue will be takin care of soon I got race star wheels on the way and MT 295 45r17s on the way as well

Yea I bet traction going be a big issue, how the kit ran off a wide open switch or window switch. You notice any power increase just with the y pipe? What you going for at the track, I'm going to shoot for 11.90 just a 11.99 I be happy. I will be running at 32ft above sea level so that help some.

I felt some from the y pipe, what all you planning to do to go 11.90s I'm hoping for low 12s with my setup on a 100 shot, I have a NOS mini progressive controller for Wot and a window switch 3000-6500

I was going to use the mini nos to, looks the most user friendly and no lap top needed.

Drag radials
Lighter wheels
100hp shot first prolly end with 150 hp
Non catted y pipe
Circle d 3200 stall

I live in waco, Tx but we run down at baytown royal purple raceway.

Sweet, I'll probably get a converter next year some time I might spray 150 at some point but the truck is a DD so not trying to go super crazy with it, which is why I'm sticking 3.55 gears, have you run your truck how it's setup? There's a track about 2 hours from me that's got about the same DA
