Most definitely learned alot with this and ive definitely put to much in it to give up on it. I plan to take it to the track next weekend. It definitely feels faster then it did on a 200 shot so hopefully I get a little better number and that's the plan. I'll slowly start grabbing parts and pull the trigger once I decide it's not fast enough anymore lol.

Mph was decent but time wasnt what i wanted to see. Definitely wanting to get this thing in the 10's. One thing i did notice was 1st and 2nd gear was getting 13 psi and once i got into 3rd it jumped up to 16.8 psi and thats where my mph came from, but why wouldn't it hold 16.8 in all gears.
Back halfing 25 mph in a full size truck - nicely done!
I don't recall which controller you have on the truck but it might need some tweaks. Low gear has less head and load, so it's not uncommon for it to be lower in low gears.

The timing lights don't give a **** about reaction time. Just take your time and only worry about the individual variables you can change one at a time to get your best launch. Once you have that down to the best setup for your truck, you can go back to things like reaction time that only matter for actual racing. Just don't do things like changing tire pressure AND trying different launch rpm AND different shock adjustments at the same time. You will never know which variable did what.
