what was your 60' time and then we can tell you if your time is normal for the mods. And also, what mph? If your 60' is crappy and you have a decent mph, then you just need traction...

More important than what everyone else asked is what is your track's altitude because 13.7 could be a great run if you’re high up. If you’re around sea level though then that's not so hot. Rule of thumb for 60' times is that for every 1/10th you pickup you'll gain twice that at the end of the 1/4.

no, its efficient... thats making the most of every one of those 1320 ft... I went high 13's this weekend at 100-101 all day due to traction... it was cutting 2.4 60ft's this is also in a 5.3L ext cab truck..., so if a less-modded car, with a decent 60 is running high 13's then he should trap a little slower...
