First runs of the season

I went to Atco tonight in hopes of maybe pulling a 14.1 with my new Z. I ran with my cutout open and my air filter removed. other than that the car is bone stock, still has the cat as well and the cutout is after the cat. My trans mount is fried also, i dunno if this would hurt me at all.

First run, I pulled a 14.0. I was thrilled when i saw this. i have never raced an automatic car at the track before this, so i didnt know what to expect.

Second run was almost a carbon copy of the first. same ET, 60 foot, trap, everything.

Third run i decided to lower tire pressure from 26 PSI to 20 PSI. I hooked a lil better and got a 13.8 out of it.

Last run of the night i decided to lower tire pressure even more, not much but it seemed 2 work before. I ran another 13.8 this time, but my trap broke 100 for the 1st time of the night.

Are these times good for a pretty much stock LT1 with a cutout and broken trans mount?
