Congrats on getting it to the track! The ET and mph are very stock looking. Any idea what the DA was? Ever had the car on a dyno?

^^2nded. That is what stock auto LT1s do.

R/T has nothing to do with the 1/4 time.

Get some drag radials to make the car 60 ft better, and I guarantee you'll hit some 13.90's. I've seen bone stock a4's hitting 13.8's with just a drag radial swap! Good luck on your next track outing and have fun.

Before worrying about more mods I`d check it out and make sure there`s not an issue and the car is running 100%. Unless the DA was pretty high, it looks like you`re down on some power.
