Is this a stock stock trany? This is pretty dang good if it is. If you get into the built trans you can dip down into the 7s pretty easy with a good program and bottle feed. Congrats on the new power addition. Welcome to the greasy side of the hill.

That is a good ET for the 1/8th and certaintly on target.
Of course your pushing the tranny at that level as you can read on this site.
Have fun, but get ready to bite a large bullit on the tranny upgrade, should you want to go faster.

The tranny is on the way, along with the edge/attitude and lift pump. What should I expect 1/8 and 1/4 mile et and mph? My truck is a 4x4 ext cab short box. Oh, The ppe programmer will also be upgraded to the HOT EXTREAME.

Low 13s is reasonable. I have seen some reach the mid 12.00s with a lift pump and stacked programers and a box. ( that is my goal)
Also, I recommend you clamp the rear springs and upgrade the tie rods for saftey.
Traction bars help, but I see others just clamping the rear springs.
The shudder of the drive train off the line is bad on all components.
ATS CO-PILOT will help with e.t. alot by locking the converter sooner and inceasing trans pressures for even more positive shifts....:)
