I am 14 second challenged
R/T - .180
60' - 2.286
330 - 5.967
1/8 - 9.001
MPH - 81.32
1000 - 11.598
1/4 - 13.781
MPH - 102.74
Who ever thought I would ever get 12 runs at Englishtown on a saturday! Thats unheard of!!!! I also made three new personal bests with a lower 60ft, faster ET & MPH! I am more then excited! All I need to do now is launch harder, and open the cut-out and I can defenitly see some lower times.
I started the morning off with a 14.1 with the air-filter on. Then I removed the air-filter and went 14.0 but it sorta went down hill from their because I was hot-lapping ending with a botched launch (forgot traction controll was on) resulting in a 23 second 1/4  . I finally took a chance to open the hood and let the Electric water pump do its job and cool the engine down when I finally ran a 13.8!!! I was so excited, the next few runs resulted in low 14's with high mphs then I finally busted out a 13.7 after another break!
Only thing I did different was hit 3rd every time , but I rolled out of the light each time to save my car from abuse and just got on it. One thing I think I could use are bigger gears or a harder launch. I end up crossing the traps at the top of 3rd and Im forced to shift into 4th and thats probably hurting since the RPM's drop so low.
But thats about it... 
P.S Where do I find pictures from todays event from the track photographer?

my car went 13.93 @ 102.00 with a 2.241 60'. After all the spohn stuff i put on and the newer non roasting clutch, I'm sure its got faster times then that.

Finally, welcome to the 13 second club. Ill be leaving very soon tho 
Im expecting a 13.5 out of your current setup, you just need to launch alot better and harder.

What happened was I turned my car off in the pits real quick and forgot to hit the traction controll button again. I don't burn out, so I just rolled up to the lights with my boss, completely un-aware the "ASR Off" light wasnt on, staged to 2k, dumped the clutch on the last yellow and the car bucked and kicked all over the place It just wouldn't launch then 2nd kinda grinded  so I just gave up and just drove down the track.

I have a homemade CAI, magnaflow cat-back, pulleys, tubular LCA's with relocation brackets, 1LE sway bars, shocks, springs through a 3.42 rear at 3680 race weight (I still had my back-pack in the back seat )
Time to go on a diet, do an oil change, short-throw, and gears.

Congrats!
There is much more in your car.
Tire psi is one.
Practicing is another.
Probably one of the best things you should do is, nothing.... and keep on working at it. You could sneak into the 13.5 range.
LT1's are tq monsters for down low.
I would avoid doing gears for now because you won't hook for ***** at that point and you will need drag radials
btw, you still gotta keep up w/ me I'm at 13.746

that is a strong trap speed. you can prolly go 12 hunting is you can get that short time into the low 1.8's or high 1.7's. maybe you can borrow some tires from someone some time and really get after it. see what is really in that car.
congrats on the new times.

did you run with the ZR-1's on the front or did you swap on your salad shooters?

yep ZR1's all around. Steamrollers on the back Like I said the 60's are slow because I just layed into it, no need to beat the ever-living crap out of my car. Im just not brave enough for it.
