Default first time at track in new z28.. low Trap speed for mods

I have z06 cam, MTI lid, gutted cats, magnaflow exhaust on a car that dynoed 324rwhp bone stock..

my best time today was:
2.0 60ft
13.4 @ 105mph

that was going off idle.. my low grade kumho tires would not hook up.. i attempted to launch 1 time and ran:
15.0@106mph! haha

my question is with z06 cam, and the other mods.. @ 3370race weight without me in it.. shouldn't the car be trapping higher??

u think too low of tire pressure, going off idle and still spinning alot, or hot engine would of killed trap speed? only things i can think of

the car is tuned

my car was making those times with just a lid in hot weather and in a headwind, you need a tune cause something's not right.

Assuming you were in OK weather the whole pass should have been better. Your just marginally quicker than my stock 98 A4 TA @ 3585 RW.
I ran a 13.75 @ 100.91
w/ Yokohama Avid all seasons (245/16) w/ a 2.19 60'

Run down a pass for us. Shift points,the way your shifting,tire pressure,etc..

Are you slipping the clutch off the line or dumping it?

I'm not trying to be rude but I would assume at first glance that your driving skill is somewhat to blame. It's not easy to row gears on the dragstrip. How do you rate your driving skills?

I ran a 13.19 at 106.59 with a lid, muffler and a predator on m + s all season tires. You should definately be trapping much higher.
