new 1/4 mile time;couple ?'s

[Holik95]

Went to the track on 9/26/06, I ran 5 times heres what my best time slip looks like:
R/T ... .419
60' ... 2.061
330 ... 5.542
1/8 ... 8.385
MPH ... 87.45
1000... 10.827
1/4 ... 12.866
MPH ... 110.95

I ran on some bold Nittos and my car has not been tuned since the new motor has been but in. Should I be running better than this or I'm I right where I should be? How much would a tune help?

2.0 60ft is killin yah, expect low low 12s on a decent 60'

Get some real tires

On another run I cut a 1.9 60ft and ran a 12.876 @ 109.33. How did I run better with a 2.0 60ft?

This could be the result of manual shifting. We are not perfect when shifting. Shifting at different RPMs for each run will get you different results at different points down the track. Even if you shift close to the same RPM everytime chances are you vary by +/- 100 RPM per gear for each run. You can get closer by using a shift light which IMHO is mandatory in bracket racing.
