Default is my mph good for my mods?

2000 z28 a4 lid, k&n , bbk 1 3/4 headers , ory , 3.73 and stock tune .. best time a 60' 2.078 13.088 @ 107.60. Is mph good for mods? Would a tune help? I know I need a stall saving for it.

That's pretty good for a stock tune! Now get you a stall,tune,slicks and you will be in the low 12's

It's decent. Double check all basic maintenance has been done for sure (oil/plugs/air filter/fuel filter etc). Auto isn't helping you and neither is the car not being tuned. Stall will definitely wake it up though.

For reference my car lid/catback did 107-108mph and with headers untuned did 111mph.

What was the DA during your passes?

Tune and stall will get you on the 12s all darn day long.

I ran 12.87@107.7 with a 1.999 60ft

I had 1 3/4 LTs, OR Y and a CB, LS6 Intake, SLP Lid, FTRA, Relocation Brackets on stock 16 in wheels and tires no tune at 3700lbs raceweight

I trapped a high of 109 in that car but it was usually 107.7-108.7. With a tune I expected to run 12.6/7 at 109/110 if lucky but never got around to it.

I would say your MPH is average.
