First time running 1/4 Mile

Hey everyone. My name is Lars and i wanted to introduce myself to the forum.

Just got a Cobalt SS/SC 2006 and took it to Englishtown and raced it.

Ran a 14.1 with no powershifting and just a stage 2 with no CAI or exhaust work done.
Had 2.030 60ft time as well. Ran avout 22 psi on the tires and did the best i could.

Here is the run on youtube.

a 2.0 60' will get you into the 13s. but it did sound like you had a good amount of clutch slip, and then it seems like you shifted way too early into 3rd. also...shift faster. hahah.

In warm and humid weather, it's going to be tough getting into the 13s. I did last summer once when it was 82 with a dewpoint of 62 degrees. Go again when it's 50ish.

Well improved a little this week. Got a 14.086, I mean seriously that far away from reaching what i was expecting.

Run looked like this.

Temp F-167
Relative Humidity-51
Absolute Barometer 31.23

R/T-.552
60ft-2.101
330- 5.961
1/8- 9.096
MPH-77.86
1000- 11.810
1/4- 14.086
MPH-99.36

Had anyone else run just a stage 2 cobalt with no other mods if so what times where you able to reach.
