Hey man learn from me I ran a 14.4 at 97 with stg 2, dual pass, intake, and a 2.79" pulley. My IAT2 temps were at like 230 at the top end of the track. Why you ask, well the fuse for the aftercooler pump was blown. I fixed it and added some mods and will be trying it out again this week. But have someone check your IAT2 temps if they are high they will destroy your top end power.

Just a note, every turbo evo and lancer etc there was running low to mid 14's with only 2 of them mustering a mid 13 and the turbo Neons we all low 14's as well with only 1 of them getting a 13.85 at 101. Not one of those broke a 14 so it was alot of lousy track prep I think. 2 C5 Z06s that night had best runs of only 13.60 at 111 and 1 C6 Z06 could only muster a 12.50 at 121.
With a decent launch and working on the shifts a little its a 13 second car no doubt, but I need to get it dyno'd to see where the optimum shift points should be.

I think you need to learn your **** sir.
R/T doesnt mean **** on a street legal/test and tune night.
Every track I know of, your time starts when you cross the start line for test and tunes.
this isnt top fuel dragster racing.

Umm.....
The clock starts when your cars moves! If someone sat at the green for 3 seconds and then launched they would still get a 2.0 60 footer or whatever. It wouldnt add an extra 3 seconds to it cause the guy didnt go on green, it just makes for a bad reaction time calculation. Because the CLOCK starts when you move!

During test and tune you could pull your car up, get the green light, wait for 20 seconds if you want to and then go, and your time would be recorded from the second you left. Reaction does not account for ET or trap speed.
Edit: In a heads up race reaction time is ONLY to decide the winner, not the ET or Trap speed. This is a good description I found;
"The total time of the race for each lane is recorded and announced as the elapsed time, or E.T., followed by the top speed for each vehicle. The clock starts when the vehicle leaves the start line, not when the green comes on. The reaction time is recorded separately to show how long a vehicle waited to leave while the E.T. shows how long the race was. Adding these numbers together as a "package" will show the mathematical winner every time."

I know what im talkin about

alot of times, people that don't give a **** about getting down the track FiRST wil even let the other racer get a few second head start so they can focus more on their own driving, not what the other person is doing.

The best way to try and figure out what your runs are doing is videotape them.
