Default 13.5 @ 105 low trap?

i know my time sucks... but

60' 2.125
330' 5.785
1/8 8.79
1/8 82.8
1000' 11.32
1/4 13.49
1/4 105.4

98 M6 Camaro
my mods are salad shooters with 255 M/T ET's, LT wit custom Catted Y, LM2, Lid, Smoth Bellows, PP TB, MSD wires... no tune yet.

my question is shouldn't i be traping a little higher?

I used to run 12.9's @ 105. You really need to work on that 60, even with your good tires.

that seems low but depends on a number of weather factors and such. LS1 cars with bolt ons here dyno 330-340whp and run 109-110mph.

my buddies exhaust LT1 goes 106.8mph in GOOD air and its a stock AUTO. not sure on his numbers but its got to be around 300whp with just full exhaust/tune

Did you ever say where this is? Elevation and DA are important numbers for determining if a trap is on or not.

Oh and that 60 ft. is hideous haha. But what the hell do I know about driving...Mine's an auto.

I think the et and mph are about right for the 60 foot you had on the run and summer air.
