Re: 14.2 @ 3,440 feet above sea, is that good? BTW you need to check the density altitude (barometer), humidity, and temps during the runs.
Those play a factor in E.T.s. What were other F-bods running?

Re: 14.2 @ 3,440 feet above sea, is that good? I've never seen any other f-bodies at the track, I was kind of disapointed with my times. Most time's I see on this board are 13.6ish. I'm glad to see your sig. Your a lot highter up than I am, so I'm betting your faster than me still. But at least now I know 13.6 is out of the question.
Thanks,
Kent

Re: 14.2 @ 3,440 feet above sea, is that good? Yup What David said
What RPM are you lanching at, what tires do you have, what RPM are you shifting at? Did you drop tire pressure? Let the engine cool? Ice down the intake? Were you on a full tank of gas?
Track conditions also play a role in E.T.'s so don't feel to bad about it.

Re: 14.2 @ 3,440 feet above sea, is that good? At my home track my best pass is 13.86 @ 104 with a 2.22 60' on crap tires. The DA was 4200+ and the altitude is 3000 ft.
My 13.48 pass was on a hot day at the Texas Motorplex.

Re: 14.2 @ 3,440 feet above sea, is that good? I put everything back to stock. Just to see. My car ran almost the same times, but I did lose 1mph. My best time last night was:
2000ish rpm Launch
2.277 60'
6.198 330'
9.308 1/8th
79.29 mph in 1/8th
11.955 1000'
14.183 1/4
100.86 mph
I think I'll put the senser back on and leave the lid stock. I like the looks of stock. And it don't seem to make much difference at the track.

Re: 14.2 @ 3,440 feet above sea, is that good? So the lid and the MAF aren't helping. hmmmm
I take it this is another run on another night?
Why don't you try this
1. Run with 1/4 of a tank
2. Pull the spare tire and jack (30lb,I measured it)
3. Pull the back seat (20lb)
4. Drop tire pressure to 25psi, then 20 psi
5. Do the free ram air mod
6. Keep the lid!
Do those first and then go back. You should drop your E.T with those mods alone.
Start playing with the launches and at least get your 60' down to 2.0 or so.
You should be well into the 13's by that point
