You're FWD, what do you expect? You should be out on the freeway destroying people through a roll.

That really wasnt a helpful response. With his mods, he should be well in the 13's so i can understand if he is unhappy with his timeslip. I have a friend here on tuners who ran a 13.6 On an Evo 16g and doesnt quite even have the amount of mods that 95gstnj has. 95gstnj, how many runs did u make?? Just a little more practice and u should be running fine and in the 13's. Just keep trying, go back to the track and run again. You running for the 1st time at the track doesnt quite surprise me 1 bit cause most who have been to the track for the 1st time always end up dissapointed. I think 14.4 is not too bad for being at the track for the 1st time, you have 13's in you. Being FWD is a tougher challenge but it can be done. Like they say "just because you can't do it doesn't mean it cant be done".
 
Judging by your 60ft. time, you need a little practice launching. If you got it down in the 2.0-2.2 range you very well may run into the 13s. What I don't get is your MPH, I'm trapping 100mph with a 14b @ 15psi, but I suppose getting out of the hole may play a role in that as well. Anyway, what seems to work best for me off the line is slipping the clutch at 5k, once you're moving, nail it. Just practice, that is what it takes, and you will figure out soon what works best for you.
 
don't worry man. I just got back from the track a couple hours ago and also couldnt surpass a 14.4. I think it really is the practice thing. Practicing on the street really dosnt do much for me either. You and I just need to get our 60's down and we should be in the 13's.
