Yes high 12's are impressive, let us see how long it takes the Hemi crowd to go 12's N/A once we get the PCM editor.. I do not think it will be much longer..

Man your mph just goes to show me how badly I need the exhaust system...

And I ran that mph the night I was with you guys. I wish I could have caught some good air. I normally run 80-81mph in the 1/8th, but that night by best 1/8 mph was 78.82. With good air, I think my truck will go 13.7's @ 101mph....N/A!!

Oh the tuning capabilities are here- just a matter of implementing. The bugs that need to be worked out have nothing to do with the actual tune or the way the motor runs, it has everything to do with CELS and the fact that it will not be released by this company until they can make it that they don't show.

Yea I a glad they are at least making that much effort!
but I really want a computer program on par with LS1Edit! I get the feeling that nothing is going to work for us guys on the 03's..... I notice that SuperChips is not offering the FlashPaq upgrades for us 03 guys.... they will not even return my emails with a " kiss our A.."
I suppose I should not bitch as my programmer was worth a couple of tenths... but then who is ever satisfied with how fast their ride is?????

I took my RCSB to the track with nothing on it, it was bone stock, 3.55 peg-leg and stock 17s and ran consistant 16.1-2s. Some times i have seen are comparable to mine and they were driving 4.8s. Could this be possible?? Or does this seem like driver error on the driver?

I have not since takin it to the track with what i have on it now, but i will for sure be in the 15s- this is with just a hand full of light mods.
i got about 7 or 8 runs in on a bone stock 4.8 rcsb and got 16.0's all but twice (driver error), i have 3.42 gears and the weather was hot and humid, i was trapping at 88 mph most runs. im postive i could have gotten high 15's on a different night. I was holding first and 2nd gear longer than it would do on its own, that might be why my trap speed is that high.
