1/4 mile time i just ran my camaro for the first time about 2 weeks ago. being that it was my first time i kinda sucked haha. i made 4 passes my first being a 13:90. by the last pass i ran a 13:69 at 108 mph. the car was spinning real bad at the end of my shifts. someone also told me that my mph didint match with my et, he said it should be a faster et is this correct? 
ok, yes at 108mph you should have an ET around a ~13.0 or 12.8 i would guess??
I ran 13.22@109.56mph w/2.1 sixty foot and ran the 1/8th mile at 8.6 @86mph
see mods in sig
turbo will be here in august

yeah join the club of 108 traps but crappy ET. i powershifted a couple runs to see if it was the shifting, same time. its my 1/8 mile that sucks, always 8.9. The 1-2 shift is lightning fast as well.

american supras.. cough f-bodies
stock 10bolt
I trapped 104 my first go around and posted a 13.8 In 1/4..Made a call to UMI and got some Traction goodies and went from 9.06 1/8th to 8.62 @85.8. dont be too discouraged that your in the 13's and trapping 108. if your a M6 leave line by feathering clutch at 2200 that will get you too 20mph roll, then mash it.

when i was stock i did a 13.7 at 101 with 2.0 60'
shifting slowley at 5500 and crossing the traps in 3rd because my trans dident have 4th and my clutch was messed up to.
that was my best run untill i got the ls7 clutch and trans rebuilt and added a cat back then did 13.5 @ 105 with i think a 2.2 60'
added long tubes and then went 13.4 @ 108 with a 2.199 60"
the 13.5 and 13.4 runs i have to let off in 2nd and i spin a lil in 3rd.
cant wait for that 9" whoo

yeah do you think i should get some suspension work done? Lcas,panhard rod bar? my 60ft could be better for sure, but its the 1/8 mile that kills me. It just seems my 60ft doesnt corrospond to my 1/8 and 1/4 mile times. slowred, thats a good time man, dont let people say its not

Spinning will absolutely kill your ET and 'inflate' your mph slightly.
If you were able to get a bite, I would guess your mph would drop by a couple - probably to 106 mph. Your ET would be around mid to upper 12's
There is a good side of the story though - you are definatly making some good power. Now you just need to get it to the ground

dude dont worry if it was your first time running the car it might not be the car, it might not be you...could be the track. I can drive pretty damn well, with my new setup i went to the track and ran a 13.5@110 almost went into the wall when i spun thru 1st and into 2nd...scared the **** out of me and rolled thru the rest of the gears full throttle.
