That's not too bad considering your limited mods.
The best times pros were getting an the stock GT were around 13.6.
Did you remove any extra weight out of the car?

For faster times there are tons of things you can do. If you want to win an actual race though be sure to work on that reaction time.
Post any videos you get!

seems like you could use a little practice shifting faster.......your 60' time is great for street tires, but idk your trap and e/t seem a bit low


whats the d/a at your track? that could make a huge difference.

and btw............your stang looks......amazing.

As some have said, you need tires, and driver mod, also known as practice.
Because with your mods you really should be in the 12's.

I think you should be in the 12's with your mods. I went 13.4@105 with only a canned sct tune. This was done on the stock pirellis and 3.31 gears.

I was at Byron Dragway in IL and the Track Elevation is 756 ft.

I though it was a little high time. I ran 13.5@105 with just my intake and tune. I think I lose most of my time when I shift to second, my back end skuts on my.

What tire should I get?

here a vidoe of an earlier run where i did 13.5

I would find 2 rims that match yours and mount some Drag Radials on them for the track, This will save your street tires for average driving.

BFG 275/40 17 are a nice DR also
M&H and Mickey Thompson make Drag Radials in 17's that will
fit stock rims.

With the Mods you have you should be running 12.8's

Like I said I run consistang 12.6's all day long and best 12.41 and I only have a DS over your list.
