whats the 60'?
and did you only get one run in?

the time is a bit high...seems like you put on a smoke show on the launch...also whats the trap speed?

other than that...with practice...you could get like a 14.6

Need more info. Post your slip. Reaction time tells us nothing. I can tell you that your 18's are hurting you though.

Yep, post the time slip. You just need to get some practice in. With an intake and y-pipe I ran the time below. What altitude are you running at??

**** you are slow.....haha...jk. anyways drop to 1/4 tank of gas, take out your spare tire, and launch at a lower RPM. you have like the same mods as me. i spun all the way through 1st twice last night which resulted in a 15.2 and a 15.3. that **** hurts your ET bad. launch at a lower RPM and peddle(SP?) it. dont just floor it. ease on to consistently but quickly.

last night i also ran my best ET to date which is in my sig so it can be done, just need practice. plus you weigh 280, i weigh 180...every 100lbs is about a tenth in the 1/4.
