Found my timeslip for my best run in my MS3. I'm on the left. On the right was a GMC Duramax.

That is a nice run. It looks similar to my 14.1@102 last year. I bet if you would have got your 60' down to a 2.2x you would have hit very low 14's. It all doesn't matter now as your 5.0 is faster and not FWD. You should get some good times with it. I think I saw a stock one hit high 13's.

As for your slip vs mine. The trap speed on mine is definitely screwed up on the 13.8 run. I was going 3.2 mph faster at the 1/8th mile and .6 seconds faster in the 1/4 but it says we got the same trap. I really do think my car was trapping 105-106 the entire night. I was also running 4th out so I am sure that netted me more MPH on the trap. It just needs a driver mod.

Let me know if you take the 5.0 to the track I would like to see it run. If I didn't have kids and be going through college right now that would be my car of choice. Love them.

I ran it at Pueblo a month ago. Ran 13.6 @ 107 with a high 2.3 60'. My first run I nailed a 2.1 60' but my clutch pedal stuck to the floor on the 3-4 shift so that run got hosed. Would have been a low 13 I'm sure. After those 2 runs they closed the track because of high winds. I'm hoping to go to Bandimere next Wednesday as long as it isn't raining. Bandi is prepped so much better it should be easier to launch there. At Pueblo the track was in such bad shape I was spinning 4th gear, which doesn't even happen on the street.

Everything except the control arms, which should help with my launching. I'm getting some relocation brackets which reposition the control arms and are supposed to eliminate wheelhop. So hopefully I can cut some 2.0 60' times and maybe get a 12 sec pass. We'll see.
