I'm hoping for more around mid-14s
My buddy with a 00GT ran 13.7 with just gears and a shifter...sounds like you are having some pretty bad problems if you are in the low 14s with your mods.

I've been running consistent 14.2s with the mods I have so if you run low 14s I'll be glad to sell my stang 'cause that's retarded. For me my problem is traction. My 60' times are just over 2 sec. which kinda sucks so I with some better tires and traction mods I'll be in the 13s easy.

I'm hoping for mid-14s, maybe even low 14s.....? We'll see

If you are a really good driver you could see mid 14's.....there is some dude on here that has done it. Most likely low 15's......with a little practice you could go high 14's.

Yea he's referring to me, Ive run 13.7's and 13.8's with 373s tri axe and magnaflow catback, but i havent yet to run it with the diablosport offroad x and headers. My best et is 13.7 at 103 with a 2.15 60 ft time, ive got some seriously bald nt555's on the back and have serious traction issues. Ive been told my car is a freak, but its good driving, thats the best mod you can have for a car is a good driver. By the way all my runs I DO NOT POWERSHIFT AND NORMALLY SHIFT TOWARDS REDLINE, i am going to experiment with shifting at 5500 bc that has produced consistently low time slips for me. I should have new times in a week and a half.

RE: Estimated time 1/4 mi ?
Just a thought... but would new plugs and/or injectors maybe help with the overall performance of my engine? I bought my car from a car auction last summer and it has no dings or scratches on it at all but it did have 88k miles on it, which meant the owner(s) before me had done mostly highway driving cause there's no way you can keep a car scratch and dingless in the city. The reason I was thinking about the plugs and injectors is that I don't know if any maintenence has been done in regards to them or not, and it makes absolutely no sense why my times are so close to cars with the same 60' times as me.

Wouldn't hurt. For plugs, use NGK TR55's

), not one ding on it, interior was in great shape besides a couple burn holes from a smoker.I'm pretty sure I'm gonna replace the plugs but what about those injectors?

RE: Estimated time 1/4 mi ?
I changed plugs at 30K and the gaps were huge....so yes change plugs. I put in new plugs and my factory air silencer back on and picked up power. Also been running 93 octane(shell). It was pinging on 89(shell). I'll bet your fuel injectors are still good.
