Check out my two best passes on different days. And the last picture is the 13.20 run. He doesn't beat me of the line. It's after the 8th hes truck starts pulling.

He already et'd and mph'd you by the 1/8th.
Also, as he said himself, he couldn't drive your truck any better than 13.4 himself. That clearly indicates his T4 is far different than yours. Like I said, he had a glory tune, but regardless, he ran the time he ran.
As far as his driving skill, I clearly remember him asking for tips months ago and we gave the tips to him regarding launching, in an SSI thread. Now he's holier than thou and can't be burdened to help the next guy, humorous to say the least.

So no credit for manufacturing differences, tires, wheel tire weights, driving style, gearing, total race weight? I figured you knew better.

Step back and read it all again. I'm very aware of all the variables.

Yeah my 60ft was crap. Thats where the weight difference pulled in.... yiu can't go run at the track with a full tank of gas and expect to keep up with a truck with less than a 1/4 on the big end... all these little things add up.

LOL! When I read it again, it had a second paragraph.

That is definitely right. I can't see a 3.15 truck having the same numbers as a 3.55 truck track wise.
