So once again no improvement:

12.84@107.68
12.80@107.70
12.91@107.06

The weather wasn't as good as last week but I thought it still would have improved with this new 93v8 tune. Seems like I wasted money on downpipes and a CAI.

Weather, humidity plays havoc with times.  You can't compare two different days.  Best I've been with DP's is 12.98, so I'd say your ahead of the game.  Are you letting the car cool down with ice on the intake?  My best times in any FI car(04 cobra, 99 Lightning, 09 GT500, SHO, Xsport, and the 12 GT500), has always been after a thorough cooldown and icing the intake /supercharger.  Makes a big difference.
2013 Esport 13.44 @ 103.6
1999 Lightning 12.44 @ 108.4
2012 GT500 10.96 @ 130.6
2006 GTO 12.83 @ 107.8
2013 CTSV coupe 11.79 @ 119.7

I agree 100% on that.

I think it doesn't help that he has more mods than me and I live by him--I was able to run 12.5's at Cecil -- grant it the DA was -627 and weather was 41F; like ideal boost.

I'm sure when it's 60-80F outside I'll be back up at 12.7's. At least I was last year.

Like they say; you only need one slip to show the number haha.

Exactly.  We don't show our average run, just the hero run.

True; I do have a spreadsheet of all my runs with every thing so I can compare.

I'm hoping I can meet up with him one day; don't want him to hate his car or think it was a waste. The car is still MUCH faster than 80% of the things on road; so that's a feat in itself. :)

I want to run ATCO and see difference; never been there.

 I would love to go down but I have to much going on right now to take that trip.

I emailed Anthony at LMS and I'm waiting for his reply. My car just broke 8,000 on the way down to Atco yesterday.
