sounds about right with the mass amount of wheel spin(if it was him) at launch. and it said it was his first time at the track with the new setup. but i expect he'll be able to go lower after more passes

shouldn't 90% of this board be running better with the mods they have?

I know I can go faster than 13.6@100 with the mods I have. I only got 1 run in before the linkage roll pin broke. What's everyone esle's excuses?

Elevation?

I could be in the 13's with slicks. No way in hell am I launching the car hard with 18 inch wheels up front. Drag radials/slicks yes, heavy 18's with street tires... no.

Did you run that 13.6 with the factory wheels and tires?

yeah, the everyday driver isn't going to be consistent. My first time at the track with a nates 2.9, exhaust, and intake began with a 14.4 and ended with a 13.9. I'd be kicked off a Pinks All Out for that kind of time difference. I give the guy the benefit of the doubt.
