Disappointed ET's

[MY 85 GT]

Well just got back from a disappointing night at the track...Got one decent run in until i was black balled...SLOW IT DOWN.....after the 1st run and it wasnt even an all out run....The car is a convertible cant go faster then a 13.5 without a 6 point rollbar and 5 point saftey harness...well that sucks.... I really thought it wasnt going to even go that fast...The car isnt tuned...well by me in the driveway...I run meth im sure its not tuned right so im sure that hurting my ET's...Timing is locked at 21 total im sure i have more room to go...I have Mickey Thomspon ET drag radials tire pressure was 25 psi i spun a little so im sure i could have done better by lowering it...After that 1st run i was pretty upset just wanted to leave...but then i said maybe i can get a good 1/8 mile to see what it would translate to,well that didnt happen either ..I would stop or let off the gas to soon so i wasnt getting the correct 1/8 mile runs ...so i have no idea what is left in her...I can try another track to see...go all out this time do some tuning on the street and see what it runs before i get kicked off again...I need to save money for the rool bar and harness now...well it ran a 13.3 @ 103 mph with a 1.88 60ft...Im thinking it could hit a high 12 second run..with some fine tuning what do you guys think?
Oh yeah the car is Vert,AOD and it weighs 3778 with me in it...

I've never come home disappointed, because I ran faster then I though I would.

Yeah but i wouldnt have minded knowing if thats the best the car would have run... I really didnt have a chance to make any adjustments try lowering tire pressure,timing,nothing so i got to do one run that was a 100% to now have to spend money on a roll cage...harness to see what it really runs..I dont mind spending money ..But i will mind if i do all that work and go 13.3 again LOL...im sure i wont...im sure it has 12's in it....

No, I get the whole, "I could have had more, but didn't get there" circumstances.

Bring tire pressure down to around 15 and play with it. How much boost? If timing is locked at 21 I hope its around 14 psi. If its iron heads it will take more timing also. My car had 28 degrees in it on pump at 13 psi. Iron heads.

I have no tune on this car still speed density..so im being conserivate i guess im running 10 psi with meth..I found out from the person i bought the meth from im running it way rich...Oh yeah i was runing 25 psi....you think i have 12's out of her?

Prob should of asked does it have a fmu or bigger injetors?

It has a 190 lph fuel pump,aeromotive adjustable FPR,19 lb injectors and an FMU...Still speed density,Anderson ford Powerpipe,with bosch Bi-pass.And a snow performance stage 2 water injection.I already adjusted the control box on the meth kit to come on later that should help on the TOP end i think it was running to rich...The jet i have is a little big...Now i want to up the timing some to maybe 24-25 total locked...im thinking WELL hoping i can get a high 12 out of it...
