Why am I running slow?
Well if its got one of those can tunes from a programer, sometimes those can be worse then the stock tune. Really I would do like others have said and just start doing the maintenance things cleaning the maf changing the fuel filter, plugs, checking the wires and just make sure everythings fresh and start from thier.

How are you launching the car? Are you stalling it up as high as u can before u spin or flashing it from an idle? Your mph looks better tho. Your 60' looks the same not good. How long of a burn out u doing? Don't do a big long smokey one on street tires do a short one and pull out of it a bit.
When I had my stock converter in still my best was 12.92@106.69 1.99 60' with lt headers, ory, k&n and slp lid, street tires, 3.73's, only the jack and spare taken out. I would flash it from a little above idle. Hooked great like that. It would just spin if stalled it up. Id do a Short burn out just to clean the tires off. This worked good for me btw car has 155k on it with no idea what the plugs look like wires are old too lol but the oil changes done regularly

Verdad Gallardo Damn I have 114k miles maintained dcently changing the plugs this weekend and the belt. I guess I stall it up?(hold on brakes and slowly get on the gas). I'm putting my spare back in and fill up my tank a bit more so the rear is weighed down a little more to trac better. I was also told running street tires at 25psi on the track is a good idea.

Yes just barely bring it up above idle and then floor it or roll into it from there. What profile are your tires if they are a 40 or 45 on 17" rim don't be scared of running 18 or 20psi just dont drive home like that. I drop mine down to 15-18 psi in the rear at the track they're MT street comps. I pulled a 1.79 60' last weekend on them 12.63@106.33 that was first time to the track since I put the 3600 stall in it. Haven't tuned it again yet either. I wouldn't add any weight back to it. Launch the car like we have described and I better ull drop 2 10ths off your 60' you should be able to get a 13.1-2 out of it with 106 trap speed
