81 mph
13.802 1/4
104mph
Mods were gutted hatch, removed passenger seat, cobra intake manifold, offroad x, magnaflow catback, udp, c&l maf, eibach prokit, street tires 275/40/17s summoto hrzIII

I bet you could pull off a 13.4-13.5 if you grab better

25th is deep into the 12s with just a cobra intake, a valve job on his E7s, and full exhaust... your car is capable of that as well with traction and sticky tires (if you know how to drive, that is )

Well I ran a 13.4 at a 100mph with a 1.88 60ft. This was on nitto drag radials with the car weighing about 50lbs more and without the cobra intake manifold.

Not sure how good of a 60 you will be able to get out of your low pro street tires. But, with a set of 15" wheels and slicks or drag radials if you can get a 1.7 out of it 104mph is good for 12s. Throw in the driver mod and you should have a solid 12 sec rig.

With those very similar mods I actually went 13.0 @ 103 on ET Streets... I think you have low 13s high 12s with some hook!

Your times and dyno numbers are very similar to mine but your Fox is lighter so you should be doing better. With your 104mph trap you should be nearer 13.1 and nearer 8.4 to the 1/8. You're definitely losing time off the line and the biggest reason is probably the street tires. Better rear lower control arms also help get the power down.

Then the answer is stickier tires and better track prep.
