What do you guys think of my times?

Just ran this last night. Very hot day and traction was horrible

R/T .604
60' 2.142
330 5.608
1/8 8.347
MPH 90.86
1000 10.694
1/4 12.661
MPH 114.68

The car is a 97 Formula with an M6. Pacesetter LT's, GMMG, ORY, 150 shot, underdrive pulleys, Ram air hood. Those are pretty much my only mods that would add power. Aside from working on the traction issue, what do you guys think?

I'm certainly no expert, but it's looking pretty slow considering the bottle? Your 60ft is pretty low, knock it down do 1.9ish and I bet you can get in low 12's. Slicks?

I was running 15x10 prostars with 275/50r15 Mickey Thompson E/T Street Radials. Everyone was running really slow that day. We are high above sea level and the temp and track conditions didn't help anyone out either. I'm hoping to have my gears and suspension done before I go back again so I can hopefully run a low 12 sec pass.

A friend of mine in his 408 stroked LS1 was only running a 12.5 on motor and a 11.4 on nitrous.

2.1 is the best 60ft ive ever cut (although i get 2.1 consistently), but thats on 17" 275s all around and im running 13.5s if that helps.

The mph seems low, especially for a 6spd car, but I guess heat and humidity could factor in to that... then again I am from Florida saying that so... the mph seems low, lol.

I think with some work (suspension) you will be in the high 11s no problem.

What track and what time did you run?

You can correct your time to the weather conditions to get a better indication of how it runs.

My car a long time ago before I owned it with a CAI, Edelbrock shorty headers, horrible custom y-pipe and a 150 shot ran a 12.15@115 and a 12.32@117 on BFG DR's on a decent night.

The weather is probably killing you.

The track was the one in Great Bend, KS and I ran that 12.66 at about 7 at night.

I'm sure the weather was killing my times. It was very hot!!!

Stock rearend? Maybe get a stronger one and dial in your suspension. Or switch it over to an auto with a big stall?
