I was under the impression that utes don't have traction control, not until the BF anyway.
I would say that you are being hit by the dreaded torque tags. I run an auto but have found that if I stall it up too much the torque tags come in and it gets really doughy, that was until I got edit and had the torque tags cut back. What is the feel of the car like in rolling accelleration? If it is strong on the street with in gear accelleration I would blame the torque tags. Once they cut in, it takes about half the track before the car really starts to perform.
What CAI are you running? Not all are equal and some perform way better than others. Underdrives do not really make that much of a difference, only about .1 sec, if that. I found my biggest drop in times came from
ECU mods (first unichip and then edit). Mine was 14.7 stock and I am now at 13.6 on a hot night with edit, underdrives and helix block. It is the edit that has made the biggest difference.
The fact that you mention great fuel economy suggests to me that you drive for economy a lot, this does not help if you want good times. Some will disagree with me but I have found that if you drive for economy the
ecu will adapt to that and be a bit down on accelleration and power. Try disconnecting the battery for an hour to clear all the adaptations that the
ecu has made on the day that you are going to the track. Check out this thread for details
