I recently went to the track and ran a 14.14@95mph with a 2.0 60'. The MPH seems pretty high for that time, and the car seems a lot faster than it shows with that slip. My third gear synchros are pretty worn so i can't shift 3rd real fast, but it still goes in there so i'm not sure that's too much of a problem. Is the 60' most likely the cause of this crappy time?

I run 14b turbo, 550s, 255pump, 3" catback and downpipe, 2.5" o2 dump, AFC, on 17 lbs of boost.
 
well, that mph seems pretty good. when i ran a 14.17 i was at 93.74, so that is pretty close and 60 of 2.0 as well...not a big gap though. i would expect a better time than that that with your mods...and i know every car is different, but since i ran a 13.6 at about 14-15 lbs, dropped downpipe,(everything else stock), and bad stock clutch, i just would expect better. what kind of condition is your clutch in? maybe poor tuning? or how is your timming? i saw a HUGE diff after i changed my plugs and adjusted the timming.
 
It's an ACT 2100 clutch, in good condition. It holds my power fine. I guess it's just my driving that needs a lot of work, I know the car should be at low 13s. I'll work on more tuning and driving.
 
definetly need a better 60'.. were cuttin 1.6-1.8s here average.. just get an awesome launch, keep it tuned good an bang that sucker into gear LOL.. my friend ran a 13.8 on stock everything besides a MBC an k&n... no exhaust no nothing.. just 16psi and an air fiter LOL.. just work on driving you'll def get mid 13s..
