Should I be in 11's??

Here are my times

60ft -1.7701 -1.7349 -1.8241
330ft -5.2523 -5.2710 -5.2839
1/8 ET -8.1123 -8.1380 -8.1150
1/8 MPH -85.85 -86.06 -86.87
1/4 ET -12.6873 -12.6670 -12.6210
1/4 MPH -105.34 -108.41 -108.90

Mods-
Buschur TBE w/ cat
Buschur Intake
Lower ICP
Cosworth Cams
Walbro Pump
Buschur MBC
Ported Ex Mani
Ported Int Mani
Ported T. Body
S.S. O2 Housing
Buschur Reflash

Torque- 310 @ 3300rpm Horsepower- 340 @ 6700rpm (Buschur's Mustang Dyno)

This is my first time EVER at a track let alone launching the car for real. The track is by far the worst track in ohio (la rue). I think that is some of the reason my times were so crappy although I'm not making excuses. I was looking for 115+ traps and low 12's. What is the biggest reason for my high times?? Crap track?,Bad driving?, Something wrong with the car?? I would try to figure it out myself but idk how to read a timeslip as far as what needs to be improved.

Driving style- Launch at 6000 (bogged a little) shift at 7k every shift, and ride out 4th til the end of the strip

Your 60' isn't that great, but with those traps, you aren't close to 11's. With the power you made on the BR dyno, I would expect your traps to be higher.

Try a compression and boost leak test.

same^. since u have full exhaust, cams, n boost controler ur top speed should be higher. how much boost are you running? if u want to be in the 11's u need to trap about 10mph faster

your trap speeds are real low. make sure your not getting any knock and pulling time. that was happening to me when my car was alittle lean.

Mods /= 11's
Mods and Driver = 11s

Looks like your losing is by the 1/8th and to the 1/4 based on your Trap. Datalog the car.

For the mods you should be trapping a lot higher than 108.Something is not right.

dude pretty good for first time at the track. Consistent times. They are right though you should be trapping higher and are capable to run 11's with more practice.
