That trucks has always been my favorite, It should be in the 12's but since its to low it wont get the proper weight transfer and it will tire spin.

hmmm u sure about that?? LaChochita is even lower and hit a 12.56..does that mean if he were to lift his truck a couple inches he would hit even a faster time making him the fastest N/A 5.3 out there?? since he also hit that time with his heavy *** chrome 18s in the front.

I agree with you. Everybody says that lowering a truck will reduce weight transfer. That doesn't make any sense. Sure if you heat up stock leaf springs or cut coils, then you might see negative results, but there are so many suspension components that will not alter your suspension geometry that there's no point in making a claim that "lowering a truck will negatively affect 60' times."

Spindles, control arms, flip kits, shackles, hangers, or even leaf springs aren't going to affect a 60' time and coilovers or 4links will improve them.

Does Tito need a left nut by any chance? I'd love to have that truck. It's a killer ride definitely......(minus the sticker of course)....
