my truck gets no traction-- im not kidding, thats why i cant brag about my 1/4mile time. The thing is, my truck has 80 more horsepower than a stock 5.0 and 55 more than a 03 stock GT. I know that mustangs and camaro's grab way better than my light assed little yoter, but they cant hang once i get going. I didnt want to run out and get drag slicks so that my truck could do a wheel stand or something, im not that into racing ( just building ).
notice that i almost hit 100mph--- cars that run 12's hit 100mph, i gots the power just dont gots the go.
as for mods--
2nd gen supercharger
deckplate ( well, big ass square hole cut in front of the airbox )
dual in-tank supra fuel pumps
supra MAF
5" intake
trd headers
custom 2.5" exhaust with flowmaster
370cc lucas injectors
SAFC
governor bypass mod
trd limited-slip rear end
thats about it for now
oh and the dyno chart shows that i peaked at 298HP on 89octane

I used to use the locker in 2wd to launch, so my tires would hook up. Now that I have a 200lb sub box over the rear tires I no longer need to do that.
I've also launched in 4wd and switched to 2wd. No that's some get-up-and-go right there, but a pain in the ass to do.

wouldnt i have to change the rim width to go up to that size? thats not something i want to do since i think trucks that have huge tires in the back and small ones in the front look useless. I might get some drag slicks on some 15's just for the track but im not changing the aspect ratio of my truck to make it look like a wedge. anyways if i were to do that type of thing, id want 275/35/17 to keep the sidewalls the same height on the front and the back
