Default new PB at Cecil County

Last night i ran a 13.1. I have a 03 5 spd gt with a vortech, exhaust, and 410's. i was running on MT Et streets. i feel like i should have been in the 12's, but i was taking it easy on the take off, didnt want to break any axles, so maybe thats why. Here is the timeslip:

60' - 1.98
330 - 5.505
1/8 - 8.458
mph - 83.65
1000 - 10.992
1/4 - 13.130
mph - 105.7

i know my 60' is pretty bad. i was launching at 3k. i was too scared to launch anything above that on my stock axles! my first couple runs i launched at 2500 and only got a 13.6, thats when i stepped it up to 3k. let me know if this looks about right for my setup.

gratz on the PB what kinda HP and TQ numbers are you putting down? I feel you should definitely be able to get into the high to mid 12's

i know everyone is gonna yell at me for this, but i actually dont know what kind of numbers im putting down, my tuner doesnt have his dyno ready yet, so he somehow tuned it without it. i know ppl say its impossible to tune without a dyno, but ive been running it for close to a year on this tune and it still runs great.

you need to get your car properly tuned. Im running 8.3 at 84 in the 1/8th with full bolt ons and 4.10's..you should be well into the 12's. how hot was it out? did you let the car cool down in between runs?

No, many people tune with HP tuners/etc just using data logs. They can see everything the car is doing and you can get a really good street tune. That is if the person knows what their doing. Though looking at your traps your not making the power you should be..

Nice job getting out there and running. I hate to do this, but I gotta agree with everyone else here. Your traps should be north of 110, or at least 110 mph. If you're tuned right, you should be running deep 12s.

Are you intercooled? Are you hot lapping your car? You been running long?
