Ran the stock 96 yesterday

Traction was an issue low 2.3's on all seasons and a ****ty track. Also my trap seemed a little low but the ET was about right.

60FT - 2.34
1/4 - 15.201
MPH - 90.8

Pleased but going to try to make it to a better traction track and go for 14's
A 2.20 60Ft should get me really close!

I hope I can get to the track this summer after school is over (or maybe there's a track up near Rochester, NY I can go to) and run my car stock as well (except for hacked air box/k&n). I hope I can pull those times...

Pretty decent. Trap is a tad low but still in the normal range.

I was never able to get my stock 95 in the 14's. Ran a bunch of 15.0's. It's hard to get 2.2's or 2.1's on a basically stock car. I was trapping 91 mph. Only tried twice. Mine's somewhat heavy (sunroof, ABS, power seats, heavier wheels, etc.)...

Most people seem to be running slower than that stock though.

what were you shifting at? were you riding 3rd gear out until you crossed the line?

If you didn't shift into 4th, your trap is going to be a couple of mph lower than it would if you had.

That would explain your trap.

Lower your 60' and shift into 4th before the finish, and you will run high 14's.

Shift into 4th at around 6,100 next time, and the trap will go up, with your time coming down a little.

I did the 1-2, 2-3 shifts at just a hair past the indicated redline for best results.
