got some Mickey Thompsons? you get those and you'll pull 1.6 60' and that will put you close to 14.8

Your 60' is killing you. Get that to 1.9 and you are in the 14's.

That tune should help you alot, especially being that you have an automatic.

I agree, it is all in the 60'.
You need to just keep working at perfecting the launch. Even on street tires you can whittle that down to the 2.0x range which will propel you to high 14's.

Edit: Not sure if you have gears/tlok, but if you don't, then that would be a mod that will helptremendously.

I'm sure the tune will put you in the 14s, but if you get that launch down you should be well into the 14s

Say What??? my 60' was a 2.23 or 2.33and I ran a 14.6.
Unless 60' means nothing at 5000'. Oh, and to the OP...your V6
at whatever altitude you're at...runs like a GT at 5000' where most
GT's run low 15's
