    I just think its neat how you post here and act all buddy buddy, Then head to the other forum and call us all "douchebags". If you want people to you that all your ideas are the coolest, VTCoA isn't for you. If you want objective opinions from various perspectives, you'll fit right in here. No one here wants you to go slower, Cody. But we also aren't going to stroke your ego and tell you something works when we don't believe it will.

    Test & Tune: 4.10 to 4.88 Gear Results!...

    Thanks bud, she sure is a lot more fun to drive, I've got some aluminum 17's I'm gonna see what the tallest Dr I can find is and try that.

    As for the guys that only want to stir shit, or cloak negative comments with fake enthusiasm, good luck with that fellas. I'm here cause I love my truck, not to battle BS. I believe it should be left at that ;)

    Don't really care what you believe it should be left at. I think your a worm for calling posters here "douchbags" on another forum. To the rest of you, have a great evening! :)

    The only people that could possibly take offense to that is anyone that knows what they did. Guess you have a guilty conscious...that's the great thing about blind comments, I dont have to name names for the douchebag to prove me right lol

    IMO you'll need nothing less than a 32"x12" on a 16" wheel to stick and keep rpms right. 390 drag radial would make your final gear ratio into the 5.20 ratio :burnout: and won't hook from my experience.

    I'm still not sure if you are calling me names or not? Lol. Guess it doesn't matter either way.


    Agreed, sure wish I could attend! :D

    Actually the 4.88's with stock tires give you a theoretical max speed in 4th gear of 116.18 mph at 6050 rpm (factory redline). I figure that this way: tire diameter 31.5" x 3.1416 = 98.96" circumference. Engine revs per hour at 1000 rpm = 60,000 revs. 60,000 divided by 4.88 = 12,295 turns of the tire per hour. 12,295 x 98.96" = 1,216,721.3 " traveled in 1 hour , divided by 12" = 101,393.44 feet traveled in one hour, divided by 5,280 = 19.20 mph per 1,000 rpm in 4th gear. 19.20 x 6.05 (6,050 rpm) = 116.18 mph @ 6,050 rpm in 4th with stock tires. Now if you mount the drag radials (29.5" diameter) top speed in 4th drops to 108.80 mph. Possibly a little more due to tire growth, I actually did 118.15 on drag radials with 4.56 gears (which works out to 6,140 rpm, my rev limiter is set at 6,200 rpm).:rock::burnout:

    So no one ever commented on having negative da??

    Does this not effect 1/4 mile times?

    Trainman??

    You were just pointing out that better weather conditions resulted in the reduction in e/t, not the modifications made. I'm picking up what you're putting down. :D

    How is there a huge difference on the street? You realize that a track and a street are just asphalt right? There is no magic track fairy that somehow makes your truck slower at the track, it's the fairy behind the wheel
    This is the truth, again there is a reason that most people have taken their 4.88's back out.
    This, Cody, makes YOU the douche. You're the little bitch that wants to run to another forum and talk about people behind their backs....everyone here just gave you their honest opinion and I guess that hurt your feelings?:dontknow: maybe you should stay on the "sunshine and rainbows hold my hand and and sing kumbaya of the world . Com"

    I know some people call me a douche bag :D

    I don't care tho does not bother me at all, I have gave away tons of stuff to members on here from my truck before & after I traded it in.

    I still have a set of smoked headlights waiting for "DAN" when he gets better from his broken leg. I should just drive to his house and drop them off LOL.

    Thats why I still come on this forum, cause it's so mixed with peoples personalities :)
