Hello everyone!
I have a TH which I eased over the 500 mile mark last week. Ok, I lied. We hauled ass over the 500 mile mark. Anyway, I digress. I can't get a 3.x 0-60 to save my life. Ambient temps in Texas have been pleasant and road surfaces seem to be fine. I filled freshly from a trusted source the other day (same fill ups as big block chevelle and 440 Charger, no detonation from them). From what I've seen on here, several other posters are achieving 3.xx without even using launch control? I read another OPs post where he couldn't break 5.0--mine isn't that bad, but I'm capped out at 4.4 and only got that one one time. However, nothing turns me off more than the thought of dropping my truck off at the dealer and telling the advisor that the truck is too slow, please evaluate. Might as just well give the dealer tech my pass to WANNAGOFAST in dallas and let him beat the piss out of my truck. Not that I'm one of those picky bastards who won't let someone else ride my pony, but I didn't strike a $100k check to let a dealer tech beat on my truck and then tell me that the truck is operating as per design.
Speaking of-what setting is everyone using for Launch Control for street tires? I've tried 2500 for fun, but the truck drives through the brakes and cancels launch mode. There's very little information about how to functionally use it--should we just set to the lowest setting and enjoy?
Many thanks in advance,
Tim Mason
