Default went today to the track

so today I went to the track and after 14 runs total, I got my best time of the day of 13.19 at 109.5 with a stupendist 60' time of 2.2 with my crappy pilot sports. They might be replaced before the summer ends. they couldnt hook to save their lives!!!!!!!!! so much for free tires. oh well the trap speeds showed some gaines at least.

got your trap speeds up, thats good, just get those 60 ft times down and you should have some nice numbers.

Yes, 2.5mph increase in trap is good (109.5mph).
With some traction, that should put you well below 13.0. You may see your trap drop a little if you get your 60' down around 2.0. A little wheel spin can bump up the trap speed a bit.

Post up again after your next trip to the 1320.
GOOD LUCK!

congrats on the run, it actually does take a significant power gain to get an extra 2.5 mph so I'd say the new mods paid off. I see around 12.3s with some good rubber and solid driving. If I didn't have DRs I wouldn't ever even go to the track, I know the frustration with not being able to run her like she wants to be run.
