Even the pp cars with serious mods are not pulling a 1.3 60. That's sound fishy. But you never know. 12.8 is really quick for a tune only flex.

I was just as shocked when i duplicated it. I thought the first time was a fluke, but the 2nd time; I walked around with my jaw near the ground for a good hour
 
No offense, but there's no way that your car truly did a 1.3 60'.  I've been drag racing my entire life and have raced 800whp drag cars that have never 60' a 1.3 and they're on slicks.  Something was wrong with the track's timing system.  That MPH is also low for that fast of a pass.

I have to agree.  Got several friends with new Mustang GT's with blowers and slicks, only cutting 1.4xx and running high 9's.  I believe the timing system is bad on that track.
 
The 1/8 mile time match's 1/4 mile time and the mph is there though. Not saying I don't think the 60ft could be off but I dunno. I duplicated it so

104mph with a decent 60ft is 12.5
 
60 Foot 1.76
330 Foot 5.09
660 Foot 8
660 MPH 84.97
1000 Foot 10.52
1/4 Mile ET 12.68
1/4 Mile MPH 104.5

Heres from a SVT truck at a different track. This is off one of the SVT forums with a 104 at 12.5...
 
I think it's just the 60' were off.  His trap speed is dead on for a Flex that weighs 4-500 pounds heavier than a SHO.  Great runs man.  12.8 is sick!  When I ran a tune only 12.9 my trap was 103 mph at 1500 elevation.  fyi

Went back to the track

12.9 the first pass, and 12.8 the second pass.

Tune only 92/firm shift/high boost off one revision from Unleashed Tuning.

Is that the fastest tune only Flex?

Holy crap.  Do you have the 12.8 timeslip?  That's faster than most tune only SHO/MKS which weigh 400-500 pounds less.  Torrie tunes are getting fast.  Can't wait to run mine.

Snaf2u 1st We got give you some tips.
1)At 55deg a tune only (Torrie or LMS or other) SHO/MKS should run 12.6-12.8sec!!!! EcoBrickBob FLEX TUNE ONLY had 12.8sec and w/METH 12.5 I thinking?
      a)Weight, every thing out of the car every 100lb is .1 sec
      b) 1/4 or less tank of gas every 1 gal is 7lb
      c) Temp every 10deg cooler = .1sec
      d) lunch rpm 18-2000 (2010-2012 stock brakes) stock brakes will not hold more.
          (2013+ or up-grade 10-12 brakes) 2000-2200 lunch rpm.

BEST TIME TUNE ONLY AT 95deg 13.08sec

Lightnings have a lot more bottom end TQ. than our EB vehicles.  My Lightning has gone a best of 12.44 @ 108 with a 1.72 60ft.  The quickest 60ft I've ever gone was a 1.55 in a 357CI 100 shot 1985 Mustang GT.  It lifted the wheels a good bit and was violent.  You would've felt a 1.3 60ft.  Is it possible you have something hanging low in the middle of your Flex that could've tripped the lights?  Because the 1.3 or 1.4 60fts are not possible in our vehicles.  I would question the entire time.  8.0 @ 80 mph is damn near impossible.  I'm going through a stack, about 2" worth of slips from my L.  8.1-8.2 1/8th all at 84 or more mph.  One of the slips I ran a car that went 1.26 60ft....8.92 @ 151.29 through the 1/4.

Found a slip for the Lightning.
1.787 60ft
7.998 @ 87.17 1/8th
12.518 @ 108.33 1/4

There was something wrong with the timing lights at that track or something with your Flex is tripping the lights. 
 
After these 2 runs, the track started filling up. So they started running people through fast and wasn't able to actually get setup on the tree like I was on these 2. I would get to tree and seemed like lights would start rolling within 2 secs. I kepted creeping up to far as well. I feel like first 2 runs I staged perfectly and was not able to duplicate it
 
I'm just saying...totally hypothetical here...and totally did not just happen...and, there is no time slip.

Buuuuuuut...If I were to run my "work-truck" down the strip...it would turn out a 19.23 @ 74mph...again; just sayin', and this totally didn't just happen. ;D
