Anyone have tips on how to improve my 60'?
My best 60' to date is 1.858. My technique: 25lbs tire pressure, 4wd, hold rpm at 3000ish or approx 5lbs boost, then go full throttle while letting off the brake. How do I improve upon this?
Also, assuming the same 60' time, how much difference would there be if I ran in 2wd? any guesses?

lol, if i thought it would shift into 2wd after a few sec I'd try it. I can't even get it to shift from 4hi to 2wd while at wot. I'm thinking/hoping a cam will help with this.

Take out some weight, run it in 2wd and use some slicks.
If that doesnt work, take all of the weight out that you can, 4 wheel drive, slicks all the way around, nitrous, stall and try to break everything in the drivetrain on your first launch. Your 60's should get a little better.

Summer (skinniest you can buy) tires, along w/lightest & most narrow rims you can put on front, M/T ET Street radials on back, w/lightweight wide rims, and like Joe and someone else said--run 2 whl drive. That's alot of mass to get moving though--your 1.8's are very respectable. WJ

danali, i ran a 1500silverado w/ 5.3 this year several times,a nd actually went many rounds, it didnt spin off the line in 2wd, but i also have a friend with a 2005 duramax and edge kit that runs 15.0's and he has Rugged terrain tires, that truck will smoke upon impact of the accelerator off the line...althought the diesel does have about 800ftlb of torque. if i was you i would buy another set of wheels for the back and put some nice tall slicks or et streets, im not sure how tall they go but i think that would be your best bet.
