went to the track...... 18.3 in the 1/4
So.... I got a good view of what big tires. and 3.55 gears can do.... err... NOT do.
I ran my truck twice on the track last night as a test and tune. 18.3 both times.
so a six inch lift 35x12.5r18 tires and 3.55 gears = slow as $#&@
so now I cannot wait to get gears in my beast. weird thing is the truck "Feels" faster than my 1996 yet its much SLOWER.
truck specs.
2003 F-150 ext cab. afe intake and edge programer. (edge was on level 2) magnaflow cat back exhaust.
6 inch fabtech lift with 35 inch tires on the stock 3.55 gears.

The transmission temp never got above 120 going down the 1/4 mile, And I don't think doing 2 runs to get a baseline was gonna hurt it.
never the less yeah I agree no one should race a truck with huge tires and 3.55 gears.
im going 4.56 for gears. and I am ordering a valvebody in the near future (any recommendations?)
also I am getting different tires. something thats lighter but still 35 inches.
