Default 13 second timeslip eludes me still

Car is bone stock with the exception of a res delete and Magnaflow mufflers that were replaced only because the stockers rotted out already.

Ran a slew of 14.0s and 14.1s. Best pass of the day was 14.010 @ 98.68 (2.08). Pulled the spare and trunk mat out but could do no better. Dammit!

Guess I'll have to wait for some killer air to get my desired results.

Run your rear tires up to max pressure and keep your fronts stock. 1/16th tank of 92-93 octane and pull out your driverside headlight. Your 60's are good enough. You'll get it don't worry.

Idle with the hood up (good for open element cars). Not sure about closed box designs.

You'd be surprised what a better DA will yield.

Thanks for the suggestions. I had about 40 psi in the rears, should have dialed 'em up to 50. Had about a 1/4 tank of gas. Basically I didn't give it much cool down time though. Next time I will get there early and really let it cool off.

I know all about DA, used to love going when I had the Camaro and it was like 45 with a sky high barometer.
