Around here the gen IIs run low 14s during the summer months and slightly quicker in the winter months. Just like our Dakotas - very few of them remain "stock" as delivered. A few changes and they go low 13s.

My buddies went 14.0 @ 100mph on street tires and a JLT intake at around 2500DA

Freakin' amazing shit! Must be the water!

The 03 I had made multiple 13.7 runs with nothing but an aftermarket CAI. Can't remember what the weather was like that day but I'm well over 2000 ft.

Ive got a buddy running 12.0xx's
Full bolt ons

some small weight mods(no spare, no tailgate...etc..)

truck is still being tuned and will end up running 11's.

STOCK MOTOR

one wanted to play when it came up on me. his passenger did the "1, 2, 3" thing. I opened it up and pulled half a length on him.

Then I heard "PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS" and he was gone:jester:

I can get them off the start, and not much for them on the top end. Can hang with them but not by much. Damn that was hard to fess up. But im basicly stock, and really dont think he was.
