Well you've definately got something going for you man, keep at it. If trap is any indication of what your car can do, anyone in the timeslip thread close to your trap N/A is running 13.1 to 13.3. There's definately some fun to be had.

Luke's not running anything out of the ordinary. Even his ET makes sense considering his mods.
A 14.1 on a crap 60' makes about right for a 13.4-13.5 car.
I was not there for his runs, but considering I've heard plenty of others say they trap 101-102 stock *and I'm yet to go 101* his 105 seems fair enough.
Though, with his 1.8 60', and 13.4 run, he won't be going anywhere near 103.

my car does not trap speed at all with or without slicks , I never worry about trap speeds ..hell im in the mid 13's at 96mph if im lucky how close to where you live is the track cause in payne ohio the da or density altitude is -983below sea level feet...lol
Based on:
Temp: 49°
Humidity: 85%
Track Altitude: 0 feet
Pressure: 30.31 in.
Density Altitude = -983 feet
damn in air like that if the tires would hold a 1.79 60' my best time would be a 12.47 at 104.49mph
bone stock would have been a 13.5 street tires and a 13.02 on slicks bone stock ... i need to move....lol
in all faierness on my best pass when it was 5900' da here in lubbock the exact same weather there would be at 1955' da ... which is a 12.99 at 101mph my car may not mph much since im 275lbs? lol
