Default Disappointed with 1/4 Mile Times

Heres my best run
R/T .089
60 2.009
330 5.592
1/8 8.538
mph 84.20
1000 11.037
1/4 13.155
mph 105.93
Its in an 01 z28 with long tubes,ory,3200 stall, 2.73s(i think thats my biggest problem)exhaust, and a lid. But then again the humidity was around 93% and it was 80*. I dunno what the DA was because the thing was broken. Any advice ?BTW it was on a 16inch et street.

your 60' is pretty poor for a stall and ET streets. should be in the 1.7X range. that would get you .5 et at least.

how are you launching it? spinning or bogging?

I agree with the gear thing, but even so, you can get a better 60 even on your 2.73s. If it was not spinning, maybe launch a little higher? What RPM are you able to launch at?

Although a 13.1 on a 105 trap is not bad. I see 102 trap cars running mid-high 13s all the time.

I drove the car the first run.... ran a 13.05 @ 105 with a 1.9 60foot time. I think the problem was to much tire and not enought gear..... the car whould dead hook and like lug outa the hole.....on a drag radial hwo it sits i probly can get a 12.89 outa it....

yea, car seems to be a little low on MPH, have you had a tune with all of your mods. Yesterday i ran a 2.006 60 ft, 8.76 @ 87.9 in the 1/th and 13.32 @ 106.6 in the 1/4. I am only a catback automatic. No stall, headers or anything on 18" tires. I'd check out a tune, seems if your MPH is down a little for where it should be. I'd guess you should trap around 108 with those mods and closer to 90 in the 1/8th
