Question How's my TA running?

Mods are in the sig

Took her to the track for the first time last night.
Each time I launched at 1500 RPM. More and the tires started to break loose. I was on street tires.

I think my mph is low, but maybe I'm just expecting too much? I know the car needs a tune.

1st run:
13.326 @ 105
2.160 60'

2nd run:
13.216 @ 104
1.987 60'

3rd run:
13.167 @ 105
2.064

How healthy does she look?

for what little you have done it's running real solid #'s. but,as you see you need tires,atleast a nitto but the m/t radial hooks better.

Good #s, I wouldn't be too disappointed. Sticky tires will help some especially in the 60 foots!
