Default is there any reason my trap speed is so low

i have a 93 z28, a4, 323 gears.
K&N intake
air foil
tb bypass
flowmaster muffler
hi flow cat
royal purple for all fluids (not really a mod, but helps)

my first run at the track i got a 14.05 @ 96.6 mph, 2.2 60 ft
the next time i went 13.81 @ 98.2 2.0 60 ft

i checked drag times and everyone has better traps than me. Just wondering if there is possible a reason why? Those numbers are to the best of my memory.

that looks about right for your mods, to me anyway. that 60 is hurting you but its not that bad.

IDK my times suck because my clutch was slipping so bad off the line. I was only able to get a 2.33 60' and I was still trapping 101mph.

Ill tell you what Brian, you show me a video of my car running over a 14.3 and ill give you my car. This thread is 2 years old jerk off. I have never ran below a 14.3, and a 14.3 was my slowest time when my car was bone stock. Since i wrote this i best 13.6 @ 99 and trapped 100 on a 13.8 run. SO show me the video, better yet post it up here. Come on.
This kid who is stalking all of my 2 year old threads is a little homo named brian. He drives a 92 v6 camaro that is not boosted and never was. He told people it was and it ran a 14 flat, after wards i found and raced him and blew his doors (not only in my camaro but in my grandmas 200000 mile 4 cylinder 95 contour). Than he goes on and on and says everything i say is a lie and talks crap about me to everyone because of an argument between a guy named chris and I. The stalker needs to either grow up or grow some ***** because its awful funny when i see him hes nice to me, than i make fun of him to his face and he does nothing. If you want to continue running your mouth than do it to my face. If you wanna know how fast i am or how much power i have maybe ill show you when my fist collides with your face... B tch

Hell I got a very high 12sec pass and didn't trap over 103, get that 60 down and mph will come up some. If you look at your two passes the higher trap had the lower 60ft.

When I was stock, I ran 14.2 at 98 with a 2.2 60'. Now down to a 13.1 at 105 with a 1.9 60'. Your trap sounds about right though.
