I think that would be a 13.5+ 1/4 mile....

What were your 60's and trap speed? Is it an M6? Do you know what the DA was? If not, what was the weather like and what is your track's elevation?

You can use www.weatherunderground.com to get the weather at a location near the track at the time you ran, then plug it into http://wahiduddin.net/calc/calc_da.htm to get an approximate density altitude.

When you get the slip post back with the approx DA, 60', and trap speed.

You have near stock gear ratio (compared to a 3.23 car anyway), lid, CAI and cat-back. Bad summer wethar could potentially drop your time by as much or more than all your combined mods. Your 60' is key to your ET as well. If it's not <2.1 you definately have some possible improvement right there.


For the weather site, enter the zip code for the location of the track (or very close) into the box in the top left portion of the screen, then scroll down and enter the date with the drop down boxes under "history and almanac" to find the weather at the time you ran.
