Default Should I be worried about my time?

I was hoping to run faster than a 12.55 at 114mph. My car kept on doing this thing where the guages would go crazy when I start it, ver since I moved the battery to the hatch. Could this be the reson I ran so slow? I was only able to cut a 2.0 60 foot time. I've seen many people run much faster than this with a lot less done.

Something doesn't sound right to me. Have you run a Auto-Tap on it yet?

Yes it wasn't getting any knock. It seemed to be running rich my o2s were mid to low 900s I even saw one side go all the way up to 975. I tried to lean it out using my IFR table, but it still seemed to be rich on the o2s. My timing was between 27 and 28.5. What I'm wondering is if this wiring problem, with my battery resetting my computer when I start it, could be hindering my power, or do those numbers seem to be bad from atap?

have you dyno tuned on wideband?
your mph is low for what you have done....
and 11's are in your 60'
if you run a 1.7 60' you would have had a 11 sec run
