raced a duramax...

raced a duramax today. his is a 2003 with a edge on stock tires. first race i was on 1x5 and beat him by 2-3 trucks(according to him). second race i was on 5x5 and barely caught up to him at the end.

i believe my tranny does not want to support the power that my truck is capable of. when i first installed my turbo with my injectors(already had the drag comp and tc/vb), my truck would just shoot out through every gear shift and would pull on top really really hard. now on 5x5, my tranny lugs after every shift then starts pulling a little hard in the high rpm's.

am i right here? is the tranny slowing me down? also my turbo boost is only reaching 38 lbs. could the tranny have anything to do with that?
