Different shocks maybe? I'm not a duramax god but good shocks are always a good thing. Maybe look up qa1 shocks. I'll have to dig for the site. They where more than willing to help with my friends mud drag truck.

you have to lower the tbars just about all the way down, when i launch i leave at 1800-2k rpms. anything more than 10lbs of boost and ill break all 4 tires loose off the line.

when i ran my truck back before i did the motor swap and put stock bumpers back on i did o track prep what so ever and managed to get a 12 with the truck weighing 7200lbs.

do you happen to have a log of your track runs? how are your 60' times they play a big role also.

theres a bunch of little things that can be done here and there also, but logging and seeing what can be done with the tune can help out also. tuning at the track is great
