The last time at the track, i was able to muster a 14.1 @ 99.1mph. Should i not be in the 13's with that trap speed?

My 60ft isnt bad i can usually do it around 2.1. What am i doing wrong? :shrug:

You are about right. Get a little more traction and you can probaly get a 13.9, but that is about it. To solidly get in the 13's you need to be around 100+ mph. The best ET I have had with less then 100 mph was something like a [email protected].

I ran 13.89@101 mph, but my 60 ft. was terrible at 2.186 sec. I think the only reason I still broke 14 seconds was because of my trap speed.

By the way, nice ET's. I see you don't even have LT headers. Amazing.
 
I know how you feel. I can't seem to get into the 13s either. I am ordering some KB super subs and some LCAs in hopes to get better traction so that I can get into the 13s. I think that at just under 100mph, I should at least be 13.999 but I guess I have to work on my launch since my best 60ft is only 2.17. Hoping that the subs and LCAs will help me with that.

Good Luck,

Man all of you guys were lucky I went to the track for the first time and could not hook up the tires (&*$@ Khumos), spun them from 1st to and through half of 2nd. My best was 16.15 @ 89. (2300ft in high desert) :bang: :fuss: I was so freakin embarassed I left with my head down on the phone to see how much money I could spend before the next race. Next one here is on the 29th of april. I ordered a steeda T/A, MAC U/D's, 75mm Accufab TB, C & L Upper, and the end of march will get PI kit. And I'm trying to deside if I sould buy some DR's..... :nonono:
