You still have some room for improve ment in there. I went a 13.5 @105 with a 2.3 60 with ls1 mani stock tb stock maf stock exhaust manifolds to 3 inch catless downpipe to stock catback with flows welded on. Tuned by trifecta.

baltsk8er69, 13.5 is impressive. With a 1.9 you would be in the 12.7's!

I wasn't bashing you or anything I was just saying you probably have a half second or so left in that set up. Wait for a nice cool night which should be coming soon in fl and try again. Good luck.

You can buy twist in spring "helpers" from advanced auto or pep boys. The best way I have found to launch is stall up to 1600 rpms to take slack out of the drivetrain and prevenr too much spin. When the yellows light I let off the brake but don't fully smash it. I ease in on a 2 count...1 mississippi 2 mississippi by then I'm around the 60' foot mark and fill throttle. I also leave the car in second. In drive it shifts at ~61000 @ ~103s and the car traps at 105. By staying in second ot traps at 104.xx to 105.xx consistently. O can literally run 10 straight 13.49 to 13.55 @ 104.8 to 105.4 with 60s in the 2.3 to 2.4x. I'm extremely consistent now both day to day and run to run. Unfortunately Im being held back by shitty street tires. I've roll ran two buddys one was a 12.90 lt1 camaro which from a roll I eat him alive and another with a protuned 12.6 sti who pulls a fender on me straight through a 100 mph. I think with radials 1.8 rockers, reworked exaust, ls7 maf and bigger throttle body I could get 12.50s. I bought the car with 28000 miles for $14900 add in 800 in mani swap tune and down pipe and around another $800-$1000 to be mid 12s in a large family sedan with all the amentites? ...winning.
