Yeah, the thin air and heat is killing you.
I'm well under 5 sec. but I'm at 60' sea level, 75 degrees and 93 octane, plus I'm running the 68mm TB
It's just above 5 sec. when it's over 95 outside.
Still not too bad with full stock exhaust, I'm missing a good 40 to 60 ft. lbs. of torque.

I never asked you if you did the oil pump gears because if you didn't, I'd leave it alone.
My Tune is too aggressive for stock oil pump gears.

I've heard bad things about the Whipple tune, JDM wouldn't tune anything but 47# or 78# injectors, and I haven't talked to Livernois. Didn't know they did custom tuning...

I don’t think they will email tune that.
Hilarious, you didn’t know they do custom tuning

The whipple tune ABSOLUTELY BLOWS.
Best thing I did to my truck was have livernois Motorsports dyno tune it. AND went from the “whipple 3.25 pulley tune”! Livernois installed a 3.50 pulley, every single aspect of driving the truck improved, idle, shifting and all throttle positions! Power was WAY more linear and it just kept pulling!
oddly enough, whipples head tuner was at Livernois the day my truck was on the Dyno too. ;-D

Canned tunes SUCK.
Why spend all that money and not have it tuned for YOUR truck? Best guess/email tuning is silly after you spend this kind of money

Yep, pump gears swapped.
