Ran a few 1/4 mile tests tonight and the best I could get was a 15.03...I don't know what the 60' was but I know it's what's killing me...my truck is such a dog off the line...damn 3.55s.

What did you time it on? Or did you go to Thunder Valley?

Superchips is all.
I want to work on using what power I have versus just adding more...thus, a new rearend.

15:03 eh? I guess that's slow...sort of. How much does your truck weigh?
I know vehicles are so much faster now...but to put some perspective on this...a 15.03 is faster than...
...a 77 Aspen R/T with a 360 2v...15.20.
....'74 Roadrunner 340...15.2...<<runs mid 12s now.
....'86 firebird T/A 16.94
...78 z-28 camaro...15.7
...87 Monte Carlo SS...Low 16s with a 3:73 gear!
and last but not least ...66 Chrysler Newport 440 6V 15.2

I guess it's just slow by today's standards...it's a complete dog off the line.
I think the truck is north of 5400 pounds.

Well, getting a 5500 plus lb truck into the 15s with minimal mods is pretty good compared to getting a 3800 lb Roadrunner into the low 14's....that was a lot of work!
Either that, or I'm too easily impressed.
