I just don't understand the mph thing though, 102.9mph and a 13.7 ET (my best) don't seem like they match. Especially with your 13.00 @108 stock time. Could going from a 90degree day with water dripping off you like a waterfall to a 60deg perfect day really change your time by a second or more? Even the single digit drag cars were only running 8s, so I am gonna blame the weather on not getting a low 13.
I have been told that I shift a little slow by the sound of my exhaust but by my EFILive logs, I shift between gears in about .3sec or less. My 60' foots have been best of 2.20 on street tires. Gforce Sports (I think) at about 21psi.
One last edit, I got the DA, it was 6500 the afternoon I was racing.

First off, your elevation is killing you. You will never see the times or mph's most others are seeing around the country, just due to your DA's. Go to a sea level track with 50-60* weather, and you will very easily see bottom 13's @107-109. It would be more, but I can tell you need more practice driving. Your 60's are hurting you, as well as your shifting. When you shift, people outside should be wondering if your car is an auto! lol
Also, I didn't go 13.0 @108, I went 12.94 @110 stock.

Well, that makes me feel alittle better. It's mostly the weather mans fault then. Next time will have a pair of sticky Street ETs anyway. Thanks for the comments though. ROADTRIP to sealevel

yeah, you definitely need to get to a sea level track. Don't ever compare your times to other people's times on the board, just compare them to similar cars at the track you race at. Like if you're running 13.7's @102, and other LS1's are running high 13's, and low 14's, then you are right on course with where you should be power wise.
