Default Roush 5.3

i only got 2 runs in and the 1st run traction control and stablilitrac was acting up... 15.9 @ 60...lol...now for my other fail.... ive heard too many stories of the driveshafts in these trucks giving... so as i approached the time board i looked and my speedo was pegged at 120, i said damn it, let out and then looked up and saw the win light come on.... end result 13.10 @ 103... 2.0 60ft... and that was my last pass.... let the pansy comments begin... but for the record im happy... i know she can get in the 12s no problem....


heres the vid... recorded by my daughter so dont be too harsh on poor camera man comments...

stock 01 5.3 - BB 93 tune, CAI, 3" single catback to chambered dual 2.25" out
i'm also 4x4 running 31.6" michelin LTXs on open 3.73's

race weight was ~4500ish & track temps were low 80s & kinda humid

here's the best slip -
r/t: .168
60: 2.451 - that was with a bit of spin & axle hop
330: 6.654
1/8: 10.301
mph: 68.14
1000: 13.363
1/4: 15.893
mph: 89.81

had to double clutch 3rd every pass - stupid restrictive fluid line!
but at least i was slow enough to not need to hit 4th
