Re: Times?

The 60' time is your culprit. The trap speed is good for your mods and should have you in the high 12's. Only you can tell if the clutch is slipping. Are you getting wheelspin on launch?

Re: Times?

I wouldn't think so. I would shift it around there. Like I said the mph is o.k., your short time needs work.

Re: Times?

For a comparison. Our 98 SS has run a 13.3 @ 107 on a 2.07 60'. Three more MPH would have been a 13 flat.
I think that your clutch might be slipping some.
