I raced a buddy with a tundra crew max at the track he ran 14.9 to my 14.1 so they run very well, the traction control helps them big time.

 

you mean like we will be in a couple years?

 

im supposed to take off OD if im gonna race? how does that help, sorry im not positive what OD does.

 

See I have heard that they make a big difference and also heard that you wont notice it. I wish I could find a used one in the N Texas area but I havn't found anybody on here that has one for sale close.

FX4MUD "Id guesstimate the guy didnt have his traction control etc. turned off as even the crewmax's are putting down sub 15 1/4s."

Alright so should they have traction control on or off? It makes more since to me for them to have it on.

I don't know for sure that it does anything, but it seems like my truck runs better through the gears with it turned off and there is no way I am going to race to OD so it doesn't hurt anything.

Turning OD off does nothing

 

What I figured, but it makes me more confident and remember positive thoughts make positive action.
Thats cool I didnt know if it did or not, from now on I won't worrie about it.

Turning OD off is great for towing applications, going up steep hills, etc. It'll keep the ponies higher in your powerband and eliminate the need for constant shifting from the tranny (or premature shifting). I believe it kicks in around 40-45 mph?

If you are planning on racing someone and want optimum power I'd say turning off OD would be a smart choice. Try it sometime when you are getting onto the highway or something.

 

Not me...

 

When racing(full throttle) OD will not come into play until the truck runs out of gears. Anytime acceleration is required the transmission will downshift to get the motor back in the powerband. I agree with you about towing and steep hills, but my comment was specifically directed towards OD in racing situations.

 

Maybe, maybe not. You can bet the competition is upping their engine arsenal as well.

 

The same guy did test runs with TC on/off and with VSC completely disabled. He got the best results w/ it completely off.


Here is a video of him running a 14.27 bone stock w/ no weight removed. His best all stock run was 14.18 but its not on video.

Heres a vid of him running a 13.97 with exhaust/cai. Yall should enjoy it as he gets smoked in the initial run by a sweet L. His best run to date is 13.94.

Were yall racin on highway 16 Blake? Last weekend I was in Graham watching Vernon play yall. Some idiot in a Dodge flew past us on our way back to PK so I caught up to him and he wouldn't even give me a run.

 

sweet!!! when he said that a 5.4 has 300hp and this is a 5.7 has 385hp, should have replied your right i dont have as much power as you stock, but atleast i can stand on my tail gate with out it breaking in half!
