Red face finally got to the track

Im not thrilled about my times but im not overly disappointed either since I was babying the clutch and shifting easy. edit: just remembered the cooler and the other paraphanalia in the car.

anyway, here is my best timeslip, but with the worst reaction:

Reaction: 1.015
60ft: 2.279
330ft: 6.123
1/8th: 9.449
1/8th mph: 75.99
1000 ET: 12.222
1/4 ET: 14.547
1/4 MPH: 97.35

Mods:
- SLP 2OTL Exhaust
- SLP CAI
- 1LE Aluminum Driveshaft
- Pro 5.0
- 4.10 Gears
- TB Bypass
- Kenny Brown Subframe connectors
- E-Cutout

I was expecting slightly better than a 14.5... something like a 14.2 maybe.

Input?

hmmm that seems kind of slow, but you did say you weren't shifting hard. I have a freind that has the same mods but stock gears that get's 14.1's and .2's

that actually wasnt my best 60' but my best 60 was only 2.1. Keep in mind I was trying to be easy on the clutch, so like I said, im not all that disappointed. I shouldve taken all the debris out of my car too

just remembered I had my tires aired up to 37psi to be more forgiving for the clutch. I could easily get that 60 down a ways.
