Help
So I got to teh track tuesday at about 9:30 PM after getting lost for 2 hours. Im already pissed about that so I get into line to get a few runs in. Now my motor mounts are in need of replacement so I can't even really launch the car because shit vibrates like crazy in the first place.
My first run was 13.8 with a 2.7 60 ft time and a 106 MPH trap speed. Can anyone decipher what I would have ran with a good launch? Would it have been near 13 flat?
All i have is downpipe, catback and K&N filter so.. trying to figure out what i should have ran with a better 60 ft time. Thanks guys

correction, your car can possibly do low 12s....you apparently cannot. when you can launch and drive good enough to get to 12s, or even a flat 13, then THAT is when your car is that fast.
your car is only as fast as the driver can make it.

I'm guessing youre only at about 11 or 12 psi on stock ecu, so seems like what i was running a few years ago. Seems on par with most of the FD times i've seen at the track. Its pretty hard to get out of the 13s if youre concerned about your drivetrain!
You can improve 60' times by lets say .5 secs and shifting faster that might get you mid to low 13s.
