first time down the track

Ran a best of 13.228 @ 102.65 mph with a 1.85 60. Consistant 13.2"s. That's with 315x17 DR. This was the first time down the track for me and the car. Is this ok?

your making good use of your power. A 13.25 @103 is good. But with that cam you should be trapping over 105,107. You may need a tune up or a PCM tune.

His sig says he has a tune. Any way I agree the car is a little off, but it is hard to say with out any more details. Temp? What track? etc

he pretty much has every bolt on, the car should be trapping 108+. Something is for sure wrong with it.

I trapped 102 with a cai and catback. fyi.

Start doing you checkup and tune up.

Bad weather/DA can make a huge difference in how a car runs. A car that runs 13.2 at 103 on a hot humid day at a 1000' elevation track might run 13.00 at 105 in cool weather on the same track.
