2 wheel drive, as mentioned, bone stock. It ran 15.70's at 84 mph when I first took her down the strip in '04 in august air (probably close to 2500-3000 DA). This time to help reaction times, I launched anywhere from 1200-1500 rpm. I could possibly have a freak, but I don't have anything to compare it to around here to know for sure.
Full slip looked like this (on a 1300 rpm launch):
2.283-60 foot
6.473-330 foot
9.958-1/8 mile
71.08-1/8 mph
12.967-1000 foot
15.575-1/4
85.91-trap speed

Thanks Jerome! I'm hoping to take it back out later this year in better air to see if I can't get some 15.40's out of it before the modding begins....

Your MPH looks fine for the DA. Your ET is pretty bad overall but that is just a function of that 2.5 60'.
Villan, there doesn't appear to be anything freakish about your truck. Look at your 60' compared to most peoples. Its pretty low for a bone stock ECSB truck. Your MPH is basically the same as everyone elses which means should you two race from a roll the outcome would likely be whoever mashed it and got their truck to downshift first.
In all you have to be very careful when using DA calculations to figure out what you "should" have ran. It doesn't always pan out like that. The DA shifted about 800-1,000 ft. last week at my track and I only shifted .5 mph.. Definately not 5mph. Then again I was only at a high of 2,400 ft and a low of 1,500ft ABSL. You guys are talking potentially 3,000+ft. ABSL.
