I would say that you are running pretty well with those numbers IMO.

I ran a 12.43 in the quarter with a #4 lower, tune, slicks, and FTVB. Mine is a '03. It is all in the tuner and how well you take care of your vehicle.

jdm tune AFR at 9.8 to 10.1 i got 13.2 seg on the 1/4 mile

10:1 AFR is probably killing a half second.

There is no Gen 3 Lightning.

putting a bigger pulley on wont necessarily net you a better time either... over spinning any forced induction will cause you to lose power, not gain it. being within the compressor efficiency map is key.
