I agree that your 60' (very good for stock tires) and trap speed should be capable of alower 13 e.t.
Still, not bad for your second time out. Just keep practicing and your times should get there. With your mods, 13.1 or 13.2 is do-able.

Either way you should probably shift at around 6400-6500

This is my second time Any suggestions (other than learn how to drive better, been working on that..)...heres my times...was cold here in orlando...

60' / 1.959
330/ 5.785
1/8th / 8.803
mphin 1/8th /82.75
1000' / 11.392
1/4 13.548
1/4mph 105.12
I dug out some sheets that are pretty close to yours in 60', Unfortunately the CAI/Tune was in the right lane and the 330' and 1000' timers were not working in that lane. I also run on Stock Tires. It looks like my power/weight was about the same as yours under the given conditions. This is based on 1/4 mi trap speed. I also included a stock pass with close to the same 60'.

CAI/Tune
1.962
NA - Estimate 5.550
8.473
84.04
NA - Estimate 10.995
13.134
105.51

Stock
1.958
5.664
8.716
80.72
NA
13.537
102.11

It looks like you are loosing time during or after the 1-2, 2-3 shifts.

Disclaimer:
This is the way I do it. If you chose to do it this way you do it at your own risk.

Set RPM Limiter to 7200 rpm (This is because the TB can start to close up to 400 rpm before the rpm limit).

1-2 Full Throttle Shift at 6750 rpm.
2-3Full Throttle Shift at 6675 rpm.
Trap in 3rd gear at 6400-6500 rpm depending on conditions.

With 4.10's I would likely shift 3-4 around 6375 rpm.

If this is more than you can stomach set the limiter at 6900 rpm and shift at 6500 rpm.
It will only cost around 0.08 (Based on my car).

If you have no experience powershiftingwork up slowly just working on the 1-2 shift until you get it down.
Start at a fairly low rpm like 6000 rpm and set the limiter to 6500 rpm.

Directions for 1-2
1. Preload shifter with just four fingers around it (No thumb). You want to pull it straight back with it held all the way to the left.
2. Interrupt power transmission with the clutch. When this happensthe shifter will "pop' out offirst and into second if you have enough preload. Theirmay be a ever so slight delay as it starts into 2nd.

Ideally you want your foot going at an angle so it slips off the clutch just after the trans isin second howeverI cantdo this with the spongy hydraulic clutch so "stab" it using the ball of my foot.

For 2-3 I just push from the left rear corner of the shifter using the V (no fingers) in the lower palm of my hand. It will align with 3rd on its own.
For 3-4 (4.10's) I drape the four fingers (no thumb) over the top of the shifter and onto the front and pull straight back.

Done correctly you should get nomore than a 200 rpm rise during the shift.

Hey bro, what does your stang look like? I am always at orlando speedworld. What night was this? Your 60 time looks pretty good, it is prob enough for a high 12 at speedworld. Your trap looks somewhat low. With my Intake and tune only s197, I have gotten 6 runs at speedworld in the 12s. My trap speed got a little higher by running out the gears to around 6700 rpm, but I am also running 3.55s. I'm not exactly sure with the 4.10s, you prob are going to 4th, keep playing with the rpms to see what works best. I used to only go to around 6500 rpm, but I got some advice from Gene K to go higher and it has increased my average trap speed. Are you powershifting?? I will most likely be there this wed if you are heading up there again. Trust me, as you keep going there, everything about your times will improve, 60 time, trap speed, et. Nice times though, that 60' is a hell of a lot better than most people at speedworld get.

Good looking slip. Was it hot when you ran? A hot humid day can rob you of a few tenths. Like someone else said powershifting can get you a 10th or two. Maybe it's time to check out the boltons.
