96 5 speed 1/4 mile time

All depends how fast you can row through the gears.

Altitude plays a big part too. Im runnin 14.8 at 89 mph and 4,200 ft with my mods in my sig.
I have a buddy that runs a best of 15.5 here at 4,200... but on a recent trip to Oregon at about 300 ft asl, ran a 14.6 with his exact same mods between the two times.

Comes down to the way you shift & reaction time. I know a guy turning 11.70 with a stick shift Duramax. Put me in that truck, it might do 14's. LOL

I was launching mine in third. It was tricky to get it to take off right, but when it did, it did it pretty well. Best 60' time was a 2.4, best ET was 14.05. It would be easier to launch in second, but then you have that extra shift to make. If you have a single disc clutch, launch in second.
