Not too bad of a time but I would like to see you running low 14's maybe even high 13's. I think you can do it with some practice. Damn I just noticed you have built up internals. You should raise the boost up a bit and get into the mid 13's atleast as long as you have enough fuel of course.

BOOSTING SOON!!!!!

You should try buying some drag radials, NITTO or BFGoodrich. They should definately help you with traction. If you have 14inch wheels like me, you can get some for those from NITTO. If you have the 16's, then you can get some from both NITTO and BFG. Mid 14's is what Stage 1 guys like me should be running (with traction of course), with a stage 2 at 11psi, you should be running mid to low 13's with Drag radials or slicks. The best way to go is drag radials cause you definately dont want to have broken axles. Good luck next time. :)

Star Stage 1 should be on the way!!

Get slicks! They say every 0.1 you take off you 60 ft time you take off 0.3 you e.t. Your in the 13's boy! get those slicks and lay down a 2 second 60 ft time or better! Did you pull your engine yourself when you installed the bottom end?
