you dont really have any mods to the car, you were expecting alot out of that rig, post up the entire slip and we can help more

your et will be better if you can get that 60ft to a 2.0 or a touch lower do not do a burn out with street tires, drive around the water box and just let it go around 3k you sould be ok. it takes time, dont worry about your r/t your not racing anyone but the clock

thats assuming your car is a stick

Where are you from? What is the track elevation as you will see lower times in the higher elevation, but it's not that far off with the minimal mods you have?

duff daddy · Jun 15, 2009

no he def did good if he can drop his 60' he will be in good shape

justinschmidt1 · Jun 15, 2009

swap a 4.6 in it man, it will run like hell!

LOL...I had too.

Get some sticky ass tires and get that 60 foot down to 1.9-2.0 and you should be looking at low 13s

Holy cow! 14,883 seconds in the 1/4?! That really IS slow.

Hey us slow 5.0's have more cars to run against! You know Accords & Altimas etc...I beat an old stock 56 VW bug once!

Im sure the muffler delete didnt help.. I mean doesnt that tend to rob hp..you do lose about 20 pounds I think but still.

Save up a little and get a nice loud catback, like magnaflow or bassani, should put some ponies back into it...
