I dont get it as well.

My 04' RCSB 5.3 3.73's ran a 15.729 @ 88.69mph at 4,000ft. Volant, Corsa, HPPIII

And the 05' ran as listed below. Same Track and similar conditions.

Sometimes it depends on wheelspin. If you don't spin any at all you'll come up with a lower et, but a lower MPH, and just the opposite if you do spin a little. Higher MPH but lower ET. But i've noticed a lot of hemi's running quick times with low mph too. There was one on here that ran like a 9.4 at 74 mph. Most chevy guys that run 74 mph r only running something like a 9.6 or 9.7, or if your like me and roast the tires 400ft down track, it's a 10 flat at over 73, but...lockers gettin installed in less than a week

Yea, I was going to say the same thing. I have a real high mph for my truck. When you spin you trap higher. I have trapped 105.6 before and ran a 13.7. The next year I ran a 13.53 at 104.1. I think my problem that time was not enough bottle pressure at the track and spinning real bad. I pretty much spin all the way thru first gear when at the track. If I could get it to hook I should be well in the 12's at 108 ( this is with the mods I have installed in the past year and weight reduction that I have deleted).
