I just got back from the track. I was running 13.9's all night. Not too bad considering how hot it was today. I won all 4 of my races. I beat 2 srt4's (1 modded), a riced out grand am, and a 6.0 L GTO.

Two of the cars I beat tonight probably should have beat me, but because I prepared my car better by icing it down and give it time to cool off, I managed to win against faster cars.

My first run I got a 13.9 @ 99 mph with a 60' of like 2.0, the rest of my runs were all 13.9's @ 100 with 2.1 60'.

I believe I was getting upper 8's, I'll have to go get my time slips out of my car and take another look.

Fantastic times especially considering how hot it is. Curious how much you have improved with your mods. Good Luck

I never took my car to the track before I moded, so I don't really know how much I improved for sure. But I do know I was running right up there with some fast cars. My car is significantly faster than stock. Not bad considering that I have just cheap bolt ons. I was actually hoping to test the my new diablo at the track, but it got delayed, so I'll have to try that next time.

Good times. I'm running a similar set-up as you and can get 13.9's consistantly. Then, on a cold day (I think it was 46) I hit a few 13.6's so you might do the same with that set-up in the fall.
I couldn't break 14.6 stock.

Well my best time is 13.7, and that was on a 70 degree day. I think 13.5 is possible for my car on a cool day. The biggest thing holding me back is the fact that I weigh 300 lbs.

:)
I weigh about 180 so maybe I'll hit the 13.5 mark too.
I would really like to pull the trigger and go the next step with heads and a cam but I haven't got the time right now to research etc. Now that I know the car will do mid 13's I want more!!!!!!!!!!!

I am looking to do torque converter next. I hear that is supposed to take a tenth or two off your 60's time. I also have the predator on pre-order, I think I get a few more horses out of my car with that.
