What was the temp on your 12 sec pass vs the temp at the track yesterday???

I'm going to go with weather you guys had a high yesterday of 97 degrees and over 60% humidity.... try correcting your times in the below site and see if that 13.88 comes down a bit. 20 degrees of dry heat is good for 3 tenths in my truck on the same day.

1slow01Z71 gave you some good advise with the leak down test. If you were having transmission problems I'd expect a bigger drop in your MPH. Your pushing 97 mph on your 13.8 run only 8 mph diff between your best run.

when i moved here last year in july from washington state, i think in october when i still had the tbstall my best run was a 13.56@98mph, and this was sdtune and meth (just washerfluid for cooling effects) and i was running 13lbs of boost and 12*'s of timing if i didnt have the tbstall at that time i'd probably would've seen high 12's

So maybe elevation change and temp change. Sounds like you have 13 second truck until November LOL.

I run mid/low 14's during the winter and climb up to low 15s during the Arizona summer.

Cam!

Long tubes help with torque I think?

Did your intercooler pump quit working? I know that will effect the lightnings ET alot if it quits working? Also what is the elevation of the track?
