Default Disappointed With my results!!!!

hey guys went to the track tonight. i threw the DR's on the back and i put bilsteins out back hoping to cut a good enough 60ft to get a 13 flat. my best tonight was a 13.652 @101. my 60ft was 2.049. in my sig when i ran a 13.4 @100 was on crappy street tires. maybe it was slightly because of the weather tonight why i did not see the results i was hoping for. it was about 85 degrees and muggy as crap. To make matters worse on my last run i messed up the rear. i have no more posi. it a single tire screamer now. it gives me an excuse to throw some 3.73's and a girdle at the 10 bolt lol. just thought i would share this with everyone. any input on this would be appreiciated. o by the way the 60ft on the run in my sig was a 2.1. also my launch was acctually better tonight then any other time. so idk what i can do about that. thanks in adavance for any good or bad comments.

You need better air to run better N/A. So its time to put the car down for some repairs/more mods. Id recommend a converter/tranny cooler and an EWP if you dont have one already.

yeh i figured it was a little to do with the air. yeh i guess since the rear is messed up its time for gears, girdle, tranny cooler and thats it for now lol. by the end of the year hopefully some suspension and a stall which is becoming a must. even tonight with DR's i could only take the stock converter to bout 1300rpm before it would start to spin the tires over. well one of them anyway...

The DA has alot to do with it. When I had my stock converter i could only launch at 1300, so your right there. How big are the DR's?
