Default Times??? Susgestions??

Aight, I have a 97 Z28 M6. Mods are Jet-hot Lt's, ORY pipe, Borla cat-back (no plate) Pro 5.0 w/ Lou's Short Stick, Centerforce clutch, March UD Pulley, Moroso intake, NX wetshot.

I went to mason-dixon a couple weeks ago. I ran a few times on n20 @ 700psi (should be @ 1050psi but my heater doesn't work )

I got a 13.9@104
60ft was 2.3

What do u guys think i should run?? I have been having trouble hooking, so with traction, what do u guys think?? I hear a 100mph trap is good for a mid-high 13's. Once i get a bottle heater and get to the correct psi and am spraying a good 100shot and traction, what is your guys guess of my e/t?? Thanks alot. David.

P.S the reason i post this is because i thought something was wrong with my car since i ran a 14.1@100 stock. Just wanted to see what u guys think. I do have a *slight* miss, but nothing too bad, and only at very low rpm. Thanks again.

what shot of nitrous are you running? Usually a 100 hp pill is good for 7-10 mph, so the low bottle pressure usually causes you to run rich, and depending on where you get on the bottle. Chop 3 tenths off the 60 foot and get the bottle pressure up and you'll have a 12 second et at about 108-109 mph. Just my opinion...

definately practice those launches. 104 is enough mph to get into the 13.3ish range with proper traction. with the 100shot on good bottle pressure i woudl say you will be way into the 12's.

later

Last year - stock engine - a few bolt on. BUT good suspension and tires. Engine only 12.8-12.9, turned on the 100 shot - about 900psi - turned 11.3-11.4. DA was 4800+ that day also.

12's on a 100 shot should be within your reach with good traction and a couple of suspension mods.
