Default is my trap speed low?

compared to other cars with the same mods as me it seems like my trap speed is low. my mods are in my sig. is there any reason it would be my 3600 stall. my best 1/4 was 13.47@101.19 with a 1.9 60' foot. it was on street tires, but my 60 was alright, i plan on having Drs for the track next time but that wont help my trap. when i went through emissions i was told my car was runing rich, could that have any effect on my trap? would leaning it out help me gain hp? how would i go about doing that? thanks

The time seems low with them Mods..mine stock got a 13.89@100, with a 2.1 60ft. If I had your 60ft, that would of been right there with you.
Sorry to say, but something is not working like it should in your Car.

no two car is ever going to run the same. Location is very dependent on a car's performance.

True, but with the stuff in his sig, and the 60ft time, he should be 13.2's atleast..then again the altitude makes a difference.

Where do you run and whats the DA of the track on average?? As for the mph, it is on the low side but your tire psi may have a major factor, are you airing them down to get a decent 60 foot??

Dyno the car and weigh it at the track. I think from there we can get a good guage as if this is what you are supposed to be running. Bearing in mind that the higher the stall the more rwhp you will lose.
