Well I took my truck back to the track tonight and it went even faster.Last time at the track it went 14.91.
Well tonight it went a 14.85 then a 14.82 and i kept over reving it and it would shut down between shifts so on the last pass i shifted it a little early and it went a 14.67.
It is still 100% stock and the only thing I do is remove the stock filter.
the truck is a RCLB with a 5.3 a/4 with a 3.73 gear.
next time I go i will remove the spare tire and jack and I think it will go well into the 14.50s or MAYBE even a 14.4??

those are some really good times for what you have there... was there a major difference in weather (temp and humidity) when comparing your 14.9 times to your recent times?
