Default Is something wrong? 13.803@101.92

Just ran my first 1/4 mile times. 13.803@101.92 it was really hot and it had just stoped raining a hour before i ran. With my mods i was thinking i should be running much faster. Is my trap speed good or is that way off to? I was thinking with a 101 trap(fastest was 102.5 but et was slower). I have auto-tap on the way and just hooked my NX 150 wet kit up so i'm about to have some fun. Any help would be nice!

that doesn't seem too bad considering you have alot of heavy suspension parts and not too many power mods. the nx kit should give you a nice kick in the pants and with the big tires and (adjustable?) shocks you should be able to hook it up.

The only thing that would worry me is the low MPH
Do you know what gear you have? An SS should have a 3.23

A 98 is now 5 years old, you might need a slight tuneup, but I'm thinking in the heat you should at least crank off a 13.5 in the car.

A bigger converter would make a huge difference.

Oh and I see three typos in your sig we need those fixed we don't want everyone to think we can't spell LOL.

Get rid of the Maf and put a stock one back in, did you do the throttle bumpstop mod , This one is stupid but did you remove the floor mat from the driverside when you raced.
