I'm in Surprise.
But hardly a difference.
But there shouldn't be that much of a difference in times. He was saying stock 'stangs were doing 16s and 17s. No way.

Go to this
link and figure out what your DA adjusted time and trap is. Even considering the DA, that trap seems pretty damn low to me.

Thanks I'll give that a shot. I also think maybe my carb is hurting me a little.

try some weight reduction, stickier tires and sharp eye on the tree
so far ive only gotten 14.8 out of my setup but it was trapping at about 100 mph and that was with a 2.8 sixty foot... no traction till 3rd gear
that was with 2.73 gears.. now i got 4.10 lol.. awaiting rear suspension upgrades till i go again
