So I went to the track the other day. I was excited I was running slicks and it was the first time with my 4.10's. I pulled up to the line, mind you this is the first time I've ever used slicks, and ran a 14.2 @ 96 MPH. I had a 2.0 60'. Now as far as the 60' goes thats my driving error. But my trap speeds are 5 MPH lower than what they used to be when I had the stock gears. I don't understand why I'm running so slow. I'm wondering if maybe I'm running to rich cause my car backfires alot when I rev the engine. This was very discouraging. What times should I be running on slicks, 4.10's, 100 shot of Nitrous, catback 2 1/2" exhaust, CAI, and a stage 2 clutch. Remember I'm in Utah so you can pretty much add a second to what ever I'd run in Cali.

well.. if you say they are like a second difference.. that would be low 13's... thats real fast... but maybe ur not launching it hard enough with the tires and gears.....

RE: Disappointment

if my a/f was 9 that would be way rich(remember 14-1 is the stoicheometric ratio. 9-1 is too much fuel). I think It is an a/f issue. my car backfires alot. and my gas mileage is HORRIBLE. I put in 15$ yesterday and I had to put more in today. rediculous. I have a 97 GT so I have the NON pi SH*t. I just got a set of PI heads though so I'm lookin forward to next summer.
