could you provide you best time with the trap and the 60' then i could provide alittle more light on the subject

I'm assuming you have a turbo if your looking for mid 14's stock.

I must concur with the Engineer. Your 60 foot times will give us a much better picture as to where you are losing precious tenths of seconds.

On a general note, make sure your ignition components are up to snuff. Plugs, wires,cap, rotor, etc. Old or faulty ignition components can seriously rob you of some power.

hi my best run was 15.8 trap 90.3 and my 60 foot was 2.32

The trap speed seems a touch low, but not too far off. Again, make sure your ignition components are all fresh and working properly.

Mostly I'd say your launch is what's hurting your time. Nothing to be ashamed of though, especially if it's your first time. Work on it a bit more and with some practice, you should be able to get under 2.0 consistently. Then u should start seeing those E.T.s a little closer to what you're looking for.

Good luck! and keep us posted.
