Dissapointing track times
My setup ran a 13.76 @ 103.62mph with a 2.16 60'
To say the least i am dissapointed. All of my runs were hot laped, which sucks but it was about to rain, so my engine was not able to cool at all for any runs. At the end of that run i let off prob .5-.75 seconds before i finished . But regardless, i dont know if i would have done that much better. I beat a friend who runs 13.5's on the street solidly. I dont know whats goin on. The run before that i ran a 14.0 @ 101mph but that was due mostly to exceptionaly shitty shifting.

Re: Dissapointing track times
that 60ft is killing you, what stall are you running? you should be able to go 1.9x or 1.8x on radials that will help you out immensely

i know the 60 sucks. my trap should still be higher i think 106-108 range is what i think this setup should run.
I have a 6 speed.

Well, if you are on radials and not a stick driving ****, you did as expected. Just because you think you can drive a stick doesnt mean you can at the track. Use some tires, drag radials.
