Default PLEASE help read my e.t's

Last week I took my c-5 to the speedway here in vegas. The weather was VERY windy (cross wind)and my car ran in the low 14's @ 101-102 mph. Another c-5 set up like mine ran high 13's @ 105.the only other difference was drag radials on his. Do drag radials really make that much of a difference? (I am sure they do) My 60ft times sucked (2.30 all night) does the weather make that much of a difference? I ran 9 times and only lost once and even then I still beat his trap speed is that normal ? It seemed like all the stock cars ran slow mostly high 14's and mid 15,s and not to many cars broke 100 mph. What do you make of this? This track always seems slow if you see a f-body break 13 it is a miracle. Thanks in advance. p.s. mine is an auto with bolt on mods flowmaster and jet module. his was also a auto(same yr)w/h bolt on's and hyper tech programmer and dr's. What should your e.t be at 101/102 mph[h ? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

315 Drag Rad. will help you improve greatly. Street E/T's are better.
Tire presure is the next thing that you really need to deal with at the track. The M6 ZO6 guys like C5-Pig, that run here in NJ are getting 1.5 on DR's. Check this https://ls1tech.com/ubb/cgi-bin/ulti...;f=17;t=000260
Hope this helps.
