Slowly dropping my ET's...
Although last night wasn't the greatest for drag racing, I still managed to drop 0.15 off my ET. With only a few more weeks left of racing, it's encouraging to see that my car is getting a bit quicker. Either that, or I'm finally learning how to drive. LOL 
My new best time is now a 14.229 @ 100.3 mph! With a little luck, maybe I'll be able to pull off a 14.1 before the end of the year.
No idea what happened to the 1/8 mile readings.

Ed, sounds like the track prep is getting better and the air is getting cooler as well.
I noticed you cut a pretty low 60 for calgary on street tires. That explains the ET right there.
Great job though, glad to see your making improvements.
Now all you need to do is trap 104 mph consistantly like mua!!

Almost stock!
I've just done the basic bolt-on, intake, muffler, pulley, Stage 1...
What works against me is the 3200 ft elevation of Calgary.

i dont think he will get 13s in calgary by just adding a traction mod.
He is already cutting 2.29 60 foot. Its not gonna get much better than that with a traction mod. He might cut off another 10th but not 3/10ths.
I think an exhaust system, and slicks would get him there though.

So... can I borrow your slicks for a pass??? 
j/k
I'll be doing a few more things over winter that I hope will land me in the 13's. This year, if I can get down to a 14.1XX I'll be happy.
