Hell that's still respectable. I think mid 13s in a full weight truck with bolt ons is movin good. Most of the Mustang GT guys yesterday were hsving trouble running mid 12s with full bolt ons. I'm interested to see what it runs with longtubes and some good traction now.

You had some good runs and it surprised me the first time I watched it go down the track. I was out there in my G8 and having fun running against the Corvettes.
I don't think I'd ever take my truck out there, although it would be pretty funny if I ran it with all the extra weight from the air ride setup and the fact that the drivetrain is stock.

Ok guys heres the breakdown of the time slip from my best pass.
Reaction: .2762
60 FT: 2.22
330FT: 6.02
1/8 ET: 9.16
1/8 MPH: 79.87
1000 ET: 11.71
1000 MPH: 92.01
Hows that look to you guys? I think its obvious that with some traction the low 11s are very possible. If I calculated right my MPH is closer to an 11.30 or 11.40 ET if I had the traction. I think my reaction and 60 FT times are pretty good all things considered. I was launching straight off idle rolling into the throttle and being on the floor about the 100 FT mark and thats where I ran into the majority of my traction problems. There and at the 1-2 shift. That pass it spun a little out of the hole but not horribly bad.
