Need to know your 60 ft.

Your MPH does seem a little low though.

You really only have one power adding mod, "the filter", so you really can't expect much more than 13.6 through what you ran.
However like V said, we need the 60ft time. You need 1.8 or 1.9 60's on the F-1's, when you do, you'll improve your ET a good amount. it can be done easy enough. My absolute worse 60 ever on F-1's was 2.0. 99.9 % were 1.9, and a couple of 1.8's

The Chip will add Prob @20-30 HP with no Pulley, 35-50 with a Pulley. You can expect some major improvement there.

Good luck, and don't be disappointed,
YOU DID GOOD, YOU HAD FUN, YOU GOT A FAST TRUCK.
Just got to get the power to the ground.

...maybe the sunroof was open j/k...

93mph is about 5-7 mph off of what you *should* be running.

My first run ever in my '01, netted me a 13.8@98mph... so, you're not far off, but still, if the humidity was WAY high along with temps, that could explain a lot.....

109mph trap speed is impossible for a stock 99-00. Most 99-00s trapped at 97-99 mph stock. I've never even heard of a stock 99-00 trapping over 100mph. As a matter of fact, when my 99 was running 12.40s, it was only at 108 mph. Sure that's not a G-tech reading?

As for Justin, something is definitely not right. A stock 01 should trap 100-102 mph easy, you are down almost 10mph. Even with a poor 60 ft, your mph will still stay up, and even raise 1 mph with some wheelspin. Something is wrong there for sure.

Man thats slow, but remember these trucks can be as much as 6 ten off in hot weather... You didn't state how hot it was... Last summer my truck ran 6 tens slower, and thats a fact... So don't be discouraged.............

Grandmantr... Having a very hard time believing that one.. Not saying you lying and no flame intended ...Something is wrong.. Maybe computer error, I don't know but, I really doubt your truck truly went that fast... sorry dude...

PEacE.................
