Default traping low?

I ran my car for the first time since i bought it and it ran a 14.1 @ 96.5mph with a 2.04 60 foot the car has a flowmaster muffler moroso cai and 3.23 gears the old owner put 205/55/16 on it (they said they got a deal when i asked them why) and i had the pressure down to 25 to get them from spinning. I ran at maryland internation raceway i have no idea about the elevation or humitity that night it felt pretty cool to me.

My car with a flowmaster, gutted cats, 343s, and a moroso cold air intake went 14.5 at 97 with a 2.1 60'.
Im hoping with some longtubes and a cutout Ill be trapping over 100.

Seems kinda slow.

With that 60' i'd expect a 14.0-13.9

Also a 97+ trap.

Definately sounds low. My old '95 went 14.1@99.8 MPH with exhaust and 4.10 gears. I'm up at 4400 ft. above sea level too.

Way low, when my car was pretty much stock on 2.73 gears it would trap over 100. Only mods were CAI and 1.6 roller tip rockers, totally stock exaust. That is at Cecil which is only and hour or so away from you.

i think 96.5 is alright maybe 1 or 1.5 mph low
thats a good 60' i doubt youll get better than that with what you have
i ran 13.6 @101 with mods in sig
get rid of those tires at least put 245's on the back i cant imagine how 205s look

MIR is a good track as far as elevations is concerned. I don't think you're toooo far off, but a little low. Might need a tune up. I trapped 98+ stock.
