Well, it's 6am and I just home a little while ago. All I have to say is Bobbie's Kitchen Pass did AWSOME. It did better than I had ever hoped. Even with no weight hangin'. My first pull I pulled in 3rd low. We went 250ft and it was a ride. I had a pretty bad hop going and lifted mid track, but got back in it. Suprisingly, the turbo came back to life and we dug for the finish. But I was BANGIN' the 4000 rpm rev limit at will. It was bad azz.
Second pull a good friend who's been pulling a long time said I should really try 4th low. I was scared to death I didn't have the motor for it. But to my suprise, it lit up and took off like a rocket!!! However, at about 100ft, the bounce came back and BAD. I had to lift again. But this time, the turbo would not re-lite, so that pretty much ended the run. But I was so stoked, it pulled 4th gear HARD! So there's the update. There is a ton of video, and I'll get it posted asap. You guys are gonna love it.
Ross, against your recommendation, I had to try 4th and I'm glad I did. But now that I think about it, I'm running 235's and I believe your tires are quite a bigger. I think that was the difference. But then again, I wasn't hangin' weight, so you still may be right.

congrats! I'm glad you got to try both gears I just wanted to see to you get a pass underyour belt in 3rd since it is a lot more forgiving i think i did pull 4th low with 4.10s pretty decent on a real loose track with weight but did basicly the same thing you did had to back out because of bouncing and never got it back. then when I dropped down to 3rd I did the same thing as you and just bounced off the rev limiter. thats why I went for a gear change right off the bat.
I'll be real interested to see how your truck handles that gear when you get some weight on it.

He's a night shifter like me and I think he said his days off is Thurs-Fri, better than my days off Sun-Mon.

Wish i coulda made it out brotha. i tried like crazy, but just couldn't dig my way out of previous engagements.. i was only an hour away too.. 
Glad to hear your happy with it so far. hopefully the next track is a bit looser so you can run that 4th gear again. Hope you don't mind, but i'm gonna post a pic for everyone til you can get your vids up.
Here's some diesel **** for y'all..
