Went to the track tonight... lol Im sick of those insane 2.44 60' times.. 
Heavy a$$ brick! She ran a 16.8 at 82, and I was able to use the mph off the slips to calibrate those new tires to match the spedo!
My future Mod's I think in this order!
1. Gears,
2. E-Fans
3. MagnaFlow Exhaust SIDO (Tired of the Flow50series in stock location SISO)
4. Troyer Tune (time to trash the SC1714 Canned stuff and go custom to fit my truck)
Then... since I know I wont be happy with it after that... and I'll wanna go Faster.. I'll buy a sport bike and have a nice rig to pull my bike!

Two similar trucks:
One with 35's 3.73 gears and a tuner (my bro-in-law's truck)
The other with 35's and 4.56 gears, no tuner (his buddy's truck)
The truck with gears smokes the truck with just a tuner.
Even us supercharged guys notice a big difference.

I dont have the hesitation off the line ... I have the sc1714 with 91+ and it fixed the "lag" in the throttle response. May not be as great as a custom tp tune or Edge. But the 1714 is a good tuner! I just want a little harder acceleration, and Im tired of all the searching the tranny does on the interstates when you hit different grades. I just think 4.10's should pep it up all the way around.

The front's the real pita, labour-wise.
