Kind of a disappointing time

Well with my mods that I have, I was expecting to get into the lower 14s seeing as I was running a 15.3-15.5 stock. I pulled off a a 14.696 at 95.3 mph with a reaction of .981 and a 60ft of 2.346. Guess its not terrible, but I really expected low 14s. The good news lol I kept up with my buddy's EVOX who ran a 14.5 lol. But he's a really newb driver especially stick. Any tips or suggestions are welcome. thanks

not bad considering the 60 foot. With that 60 foot you have a 13 second car if you put some drag radials on it.

That is true, I always try to be the first one off the line. As far as boost, I was running 15lbs. I had to turn it down because i get really bad fuel cut at the 18to20lbs I was running before. My goal is to have a 13 sec car with street tires. I think its possible. I'm also looking at trying to get into rallying. I found a 1g gsx for 1250 that just needs a new clutch and its good to go. Just need to find a rally scene around san antonio lol.
