you just need more track time. Better launches, quicker reaction time, and a little clutch slip goes a long way. Then again i started with a 13.36 @ 106 on a exhaust/lid car and worked my way up ( grr ) to a 13.60 by the end of the night last run. Whats the weather like where you are? Humidity? Whats your car weigh in at? What kind of rear tires are you using.

i'm guessing you didn't do that with a da of 5000'. even then...that's not too awfully impressive. the 99 car in sig went 8.29 @ 88 with a whisper lid and weld in flowmaster 80 series. da was around 2800'.

i found your problem haha. the items you mentioned aren't "wrong"...they are why your **** is slow. my car sounds like a 24v cummins when i start it up and is always making weird noises. gotta add oil, but only if a run the hell out of it, normal driving it's cool.

had this car 6 years and added 60k to it. it sounds and drives just like it did with 35k on it.

no really though, any updates?
