At the track that is. I got there late, so I got only one run in and car was hot. Im going again his friday, to see how much lower i can get this.

Does this seem right for what I have?

reaction time .847
60 ft 2.392

i also have cheap ass tires.

WOW... no, those times seem way slow to me..... With your mods, you SHOULD be knocking out 13.50's. I see your in El Paso where its likely hot and humid as hell but you should be way faster still.

thats what i dont understand. we have supercharged cars here running those times. im stumped because i read here on cars with similar mods to mine and times close to the one you mentioned. i understand that it depends on the area, but i think youre right.

I live in El Paso too, its not so much the heat, as it is the Elevation. I had found a NHRA elevation adjustment scale, it takes about a second off our time to adjust for altitude.

That seems a little slow still. I have a stock 03 Lincoln LS that runs 15.5 - 15.3.

If your going to try to reduce weight, you could take out your spare tire too.

Not to knock you but your 60 is way out there. 2.2 is ok on chit tires, a good stick driver can manipulate sub 2.0's out of street tires...... Work on your take off and precise fast shifting and you'll knock some time off.

What is your track elevation?

Our local one is almost 1k high and Mo doesn't exactly have great air either....

Didn't realize el paso was that high. Anyway, your times seem way off still..... At least by 1 second or so. The worst part is as stated above, your 60 ft times are horrific...
