I ran 14.1 Friday night, and I messed up shift to 4th...kinda missed it a lil. Every other run was 14.2 or higher.. Im kinda pissed. I should have a 13 second car. Every 60' time of the night was 2.0XX. Heres what my timeslip looked like for my best run.
r/t - .483
60' - 2.037
330 -- 5.837
1/8 -- 9.010
MPH -- 78.17
1000' - 11.825
1/4 -- 14.194
MPH -- 96.11

Heres a list of mods.. 306, wiseco pistons, e-cam, ported stock heads, stock upper/lower, full exhaust, K&N drop in filter, 3.73s, and some bald 245/50/16 tires with 32psi. That sounds a little slow, I dont see why I can dip into the 13s. Next time I run Im using DRs or slicks to try and get a more aggressive launch.
drag radials should get you in the 13s

I ran at the track once with my street tires on and couldnt do better than a 14.2, and on dr tires I run 13.2-13.1,

You missed that fact Im not launching at 5500rpm. I figured with slicks I could do about 3k...and DRs I have no clue. My best MPH on the night was a high 97...is that 13 second trap speed? I dont think my car has enough nuts up top..might be time for some juice.

drag radials are ok if your clutch pressure plate isnt too tight, then the trans will slip before breaking things sometimes, but yes with increased traction there is always a chance of something letting go,

hey silver, you spray your car...you might be able to help. If I toss in a dry nitrous kit, (ZEX, Nos, etc..) with lets say a 75 jet..How safe would that be for a daily driven car...not sprayed all the time, just when in need of power..Should I look into a WOT switch or a button? Maybe I should bug the people in the Nitrous section. If you dont mind, could you post or PM me your whole setup? thanks [8D]

who me? I dont dump my clutch....that = tire smoke. I took the revs up to aroun 1300 and then let the clutch out and apply more throttle at the same time. I got a little bit of wheel hop and i was gravy 1st-2nd...even got a chirp outta 3rd.

whos lettin ya use those DRs? lol jk...

as for the question at hand DO NOT START THROWING NEW PARTS AT IT(DRs and such), learn how to drive it 1st... you should be alot faster then that when ur stock, and well, i dont think your stock right?... dude, post the whole time slip, well be able to tell you what to do differantly next time... dont throw parts at it
