Went to the track Is my car a dog..?
Is my car a dog cause everyone I talked to at the track said it was.. It's a 93 z28 with a k&n cai bbk 58mm tb with tb bypas stock heads milled 1.6 rocker a lt4 hot cam 160 Thermostat mid length stainless headers borla cat back with cut cat electric cut out a 2800 stall and a shift kit and dyno tune,.. The tires that I was using was not very sticky there all season tires so I was launching off idle with the cut out open and when i got there my trans was super hot so it was slipping into 2nd with a 1.9 60 foot and ran a 13.1 at 103 Is that right..??

i'm no expert but i know people have gotten close to those times with bolt ons, i would say with a good tire you should be runing 12.5ish? like i said im no expert, also i'm sure a lot of people are going to tell you that the 58mm throttle body is hurting you especially with stock heads.

I know but if I would even launch it like 1500 Rpm it would roast the tires like really bad with a 2.1 2.2 60 foots the dyno numbers was 302 rwhp and 310 rtq I didn't have a cut out or tb bypass at the time so idk what the numbers are with that stuff added

Doesn't sound bad to me then with a slipping trans. Do you know what the DA was?
In my mind you are putting down about what a stock ls1 makes, and running about what they run. you should have 12's with a tire and no slip

With a cam and stall you only trapped 2 mph higher than my car, and I thought mine ran rather bad with just bolt ons at 13.6 @ 101. With better tires and a non slipping trans 12's should be easy.

I'd say that's right on par according to your Dyno numbers. The HP numbers are a little lower than i've seen with a hotcam though.
For example, my bolton '93 did a 13.4@104 with 3:73's, LT's, and exhaust and dyno'd 294/323. Mines a 6-speed though.
That car has a lot more in it, You should easily run a 12.5-7 with good tires, a better stall, and a good trans.

The Grove is a nice track and at that temp I'm sure something is off. Like stated above have the trans checked and while it's out have the converter reflashed and get a good tire on back.
