Default 13.5 @ 105 low trap?
i know my time sucks... but

60' 2.125
330' 5.785
1/8 8.79
1/8 82.8
1000' 11.32
1/4 13.49
1/4 105.4

98 M6 Camaro
my mods are salad shooters with 255 M/T ET's, LT wit custom Catted Y, LM2, Lid, Smoth Bellows, PP TB, MSD wires... no tune yet.

my question is shouldn't i be traping a little higher?

I used to run 12.9's @ 105. You really need to work on that 60, even with your good tires.

that seems low but depends on a number of weather factors and such. LS1 cars with bolt ons here dyno 330-340whp and run 109-110mph.

my buddies exhaust LT1 goes 106.8mph in GOOD air and its a stock AUTO. not sure on his numbers but its got to be around 300whp with just full exhaust/tune

Did you ever say where this is? Elevation and DA are important numbers for determining if a trap is on or not.

Oh and that 60 ft. is hideous haha. But what the hell do I know about driving...Mine's an auto.

I think the et and mph are about right for the 60 foot you had on the run and summer air.

I dont think the air was bad at all. It was pretty cool out probably in the 60's

yea we are both going back on the 20th and this time i'm bringing my car. i agree with u that u should trap a little higher. But the ss mike is talking about really should be worried! I watched him run a 14 more than once.
