I really think the regular cab short beds, especially the step sides (as they are fiberglass or plastic on the outside) really have the potential of running low 14's with just a few mods. With my truck, for around $1700, I ran 14.57. I'm sure a RCSB with the same mods could easily muster 14.0's or so, and then your just a click away from the 13's.

i dont believe anyone with a stock truck is hitting 14s with normal tires. the difference between the guys that turn in the real low times and the guys that turn in the common 15's, is tires

I have it on good authority that it has been done before.

In fact, most 02+ 5.3 RCSB's can hit it under the right conditions.
