Default ran a 13.2 should I be quicker?

Ran a 13.21 @106.86 da 2390
60 2.038
330 5.660
1/8 8.572
mph 85.44
1000 11.088
1/4 13.21
mph 106.86

ran a 13.24 at 107.4mph 2.044 60ft, slowest time 13.31 at 105.43mph 2.12 60ft
245 kdws allseasons, rolling into the throttle. I don't brake stall, I use a hand control to drive(paralyzed from work accident) so can't stall it off the brake with my type of hand control. My car has 104k on engine and A4 trans still hanging in there. I've seen some light bolton fbodys running mid12's with the stock tc on this board. Shouldn't I be running better times?

I think that's pretty decent, considering the mediocre DA and your mods. A little better air, and if you can get a little better of a 60' and you'll be in the 12s. The MPH is excellent. I'd play around with the tire pressure a little bit and try to squeeze into that throttle a little more aggressively. Good luck.

Has your torque limiter been disabled in the tune?

Where are you seeing people running mids 12s with stock stall and bolt ons. Your times are great.

I understand the not stalling, but can you explain the rolling into the throttle part. Are you not able to go WOT immediately? Either way, I've always found that flashing off idle (especially with stock stall) will get you better times than trying to stall.

I meant to say full bolt-on(LT headers & ory, ls6 intake) cars and stock Tc's in the mid 12's. I can go wot immediately but if I do, it's usually sit n spin time 2.1's or 2.2's. Track prep isn't always the greatest at Great lakes Dragway. If i do a relatively quick roll(or twist, it's actually a motorcycle type twist throttle control) I can get a 2.0. Next time to the track I'll try lower tire pressure and flashing off idle. Damn I wish i had the $$ for a stall and long tubes!

I think your times are about right for your mods. You are on small street tires. Track prep is not going to make a huge difference in your times.

for a while with LT headers,Intake, True Dual exhaust, and a dynotune. i could not break 13.019@107mph with a 2.0 60ft. then finally ran again after 2 years. of no other mods other than seafoamed the car, and did alot of lubricant changes, IE transmissiona and such. and on a better DA day i ran my current time. the track elevation/humidity/heat play huge roles in track times. its the real reason so many cars with same mods run diff times when people have same 60fts and such.

its why people at acto run 2-3 tenths quicker and 1-2 mph quicker than most lol. that track always has awesome DA

thats really good times for the mods you have i would say get some wider dr's and you will hit 12's no problem, im sad to say all i ran is 14.4 @ 101mph with a 2.4 60' and i have a stock except k&n 02 z28 with an m6 but it was at almost 6000ft above sea level so its an ok time up here.... altitude blows lol
