That wheel/tire combo isn't slowing him down that much... he's got nice lightweight welds & tires that are slightly bigger. He's gotta be a within a couple pounds of stock if not lighter.

Mlaw - can you weigh the stockers vs. the aftermarkets?

Didn't change jack this a.m. and ran an 8.38 and 8.6 (no quarter as the distance was too short). Weird huh?

Those results are more in line.
I am suspecting you don't have a level patch. You can not tell by eye.
I have actually bicycled a stretch both ways to check it.
More recently I've run it both ways with a vacuum gauge and the Scangauge to verify no noticable grade.
The human eye is virtually worthless for estimating grades.
Sounds like you are having fun though.

There is somthing way off with your truck or your G-Tech!

I have run neck and neck with a few HEMI 1500 Quad's since the X-Cal 2 and Magnaflow.
