what am i doing worng??

i ran today at palmdale, and this was my best time....i have a 95 max, 5 speed, flywheel, exhaust, Y-pipe, and intake. The time was as follows....

reaction .685
I1 2.361
I2 6.528
I3 10.021
MPH (13) 70.108
I4 12.956

E.T 15.560
mph 89.557

I know palmdale is way above sea level, and that will play a factor, but does everything else seem right??

you guys really double clutch?? I actually thought my shifting wasnt that bad....I think that my skidd between first and second, and from second and third slows me down a little. BTW, at lacr's site they tell give you the altitude correction which is as follows..


Altitude Correction
LACR is 2,710 ft. above sea level.
To figure the altitude factor the formula is:
ET: multiply your et (at LACR) by .9679
MPH: multiply your mph (at LACR) by 1.0337
This will give you the ET & MPH at sea level.

So supposedly I ran 15.06 @ 92.575...Is that still soo bad??

he was just quoting from the fast and the furious

when racing if you double clutch it will take longer to shift.. you should still be a little lower than 15.06 with those mods.. do you shift fast? your 60' can be a little lower also if you work on it, and that will help you out
