oh ok. my best run in my 2011 5.0 was a 12.9@112 with a 60' at 2.0. so i dont know much about drag racing but your 60' is decent i think

Traction was way better at thorn hill. May shoot for 13s there tomorrow.

Get a good set of lca, better tires,remove quad shocks. I went 12.6 on a stock motor in my 91 with just suspension gears and a explorer intake...

I think part of the problem is I gotta yank the bitch into gear. Too hard to shift going down the track. Need to figure it out before I run again. No reason I should have to slam it into gear
