I think my car liked being stalled to like 1000 rpms. every car is different. Are you just punching it on rolling into it?

You need tires and a lot better 60'
Best I could get with a stock stall was 1.9 and 12.6 1/4 mile. That was with hoosier drs.

I was lanching from idle but not flooring it till I felt that I'd have traction. My goal was 12.** so I was a little bummed I didn't hit it

It was what, your second time at the dragstrip? Don't worry about it dude...you're improving. You went from a 15.8 to a 13.2 - that's more than a 2 second increase on only your second try at the track. You'll have 12s in no time.

Like Guitar said you'll get it. Weather is getting hotter and more humid so it'll be harder to run better times until the fall. Try preloading the car around 1000 rpms then work up by 100 rpm until you find your cars preferred launch RPM

I really should have been bench racing it though all like 8 passes I ran 13.2sss! Lol
Here's the vid of my best pass
