My NA VE Auto gets faster --->

I went to the drag strip again today.

My best time of day was:

RT .512
60' 2.2979
330' 6.2729
1/8 9.5566 @ 74.92mph
1000' 12.4028
1/4 14.8395 @ 92.28 mph

My worst time was 14.97. And then 7 runs inbetween those numbers. I hot lapped most of the day, but I set my record when I let my car cool for 20-25 minutes.

There was a 10mph headwind that I think hurt my trap speeds slightly. My previous best time was 14.93 @ 92.61mph with 2.34 60'.

My new mods since my last track visit are Arospeed straight thru muffler (thanks James), HD midpipe (thanks me and Home Depot), and a slightly ported throttle body with matched intake (thanks Bryan H).

Oh well, this is the record now. I won't be at sea level anymore (moving to Vegas), so you guys won't see any more times like this. I wish I could have ran in better conditions, but I dealt with what I had. It was 45 degrees, overcast, headwind of 10mph.

VE POWER! I think you can get your 60's down and be very close to mid 14's, they seem worse than last time.

Do you think your car is at it's limit as far as launching, or do you think you are capable of better launches than you are getting?

It's at it's limit for sure. There is no way I can launch it any harder. I do a full torque brake to launch this sucker. And since this track is well maintained, I get a slight chirp and I'm gone. I could easily benefit from smaller tires and a high stall TC. But right now, my car is a seriously consistant bracket racing machine.
