i went to the track and the best i could get was 14.2 it was at least 100 degrees with my mods. i beat a 96 cobra my first time i did 14.5 he did 15.5. what do i do, can someone help me get faster, i think im spinning 1st gear hard evertime. and reaction is like .400

It will be lot easier for other to give their opinion if you could post up your time slip. But with the heat and other variables, it doesn't appear that you'd be able to put anything remotely close to what your car is capable (with your mods), having said that, you appear to be about two full seconds off of what I think you should be running. But again, it's hard to tell without the time sheet.

R/T .510
60' 2.295
330 6.098
1/8 9.272
mph 78.75
1000 12.009
1/4 14.2.98
mph 101.05

on that slip the cobra reacted .198 and i beat his 14.7. i only lost once out of 8 and it was to the cobra.

I wouldn't worry about the reaction time or whether or not you beat another car. What you should be worried about is your not so good 60' time and your low trap speed with your mods. It appears that you need to practice your launch, where you could get it down to 1.9xx range.

Your trap is something you should really be concerned with. 101 mph with your mods indicates either there is something wrong with the motor (perhaps need of tuning) or you are short shifting.

Do you know what was DA of the race day?
