Default Decent 1/4 Mile Time?

Had my 2005 GT at Sacramento today.

My Mods:
CAI and 91 Tune from Brenspeed
FRPP K-Springs
Tokico D-Specs
BMR Adjustable Panhard Bar
BMR LCA Relocation Brackets
BMR Rear Sway Bar
Hurst Shifter
BFG KDW2s 255/45/18 Front and 285/40/18 Rear
GT500 Brembos
Borla Stingers

My two best runs of the night:

#1
60' - 2.116
1/4 - 13.524
Trap - 102.929

#2
60' - 2.213
1/4 - 13.661
Trap - 103.155

I was having trouble launching. I would spin a little bit in first, and then a lot when I hit second.

What do you guys think of these times? Also, any tips on launching or getting better times?

I have underdrive pulleys and delete plates waiting to be installed. Any guesses on how much they will improve my times?

I appreciate the feedback!

You're not gonna see any real drastic changes until you do gears or Long tube headers and cams.. or at least with some Drag radials or MT ET Streets.

I could have skipped all the mods I have except for the Vortech V3 HO kit, LCAs and MT ET Streets and still run a low 12 on low boost (8 psi)..

If you wanna see what ur car will do for real. Your gonna need a set of DR's for the track. Until then your times will always show spinning unless you baby and who wants to do that at the track

Sometimes what you have to do is ignore your "wants" and just do what it takes. In this case, it sounds like the 1-2 upshift needs to be softened a little.

Those times are standard for your mods. If you really want to improve your ETs you need tires. MT ET streets are by far the best track mod I have ever done to my car. Gofast mods are certainly fun but tires and not having a traction issue is the best mod for racing.
