Launching a manual 4th gen takes allot of practice. You can't just dump the clutch and go, so getting your 60' times to near 2.0 is key to running in the mid - low 13s.

What gears can have a big effect on your ETs. Without good tires 3:73s and 4:10 can actually hurt your ETs are traction becomes a big problem.

What my car was a heads/cam package I went from 3:42s to 3:73s I lost ET due to traction problems and not really having enough HP to get the car to pull hard in 4th gear. Car was allot more consistent with the 3:42s for bracket racing.

So 14.0 to 13.6 is my guess.
