1/8 times.. my car feels slow.

So today I went to the Natural Bridge 1/8 track in VA - elevation is about 2000' feet, today was in the 70's about. Nice and toasty. Anyway, I made a couple of runs and here was my best:

RT - 0.571
60ft - 1.959
MPH - 75.89
@ 8.994

I have a HKS downpipe, JIC catback, boost controller, and SAFCII (not dyno tuned to a science though). I know my 60ft sucks, I'll have to work on that, but... given my mods, does my trap speed look about right? Either that or my car is one slowass ****....

BTW, any tips to improve my 60ft times?

Any idea what this trap might correspond to a 1/4 run?

Your mph is REALLY LOW... I would expect somewhere in the neighborhood around.... 8.2-8.4 @ 85mph-83mph... given a 1.8 60 ft or so, which would put you in high 12's low 13's.
With your mph I would expect about a 95-99mph mph trap in the 1/4 at a high 13 to low 14 sec slip.

I was just reading up on other people's timeslips and I came to that realization myself. For stock, maybe, but for the mods I have, doesn't that seem ridiculously low? I don't know if it was the conditions or not, but even if they were horrible it couldn't have made my car run this badly... I'm not sure what's going on either...

your not launching right
i can do 13 flat with stock car
My first time at the track i ran 8.76 1.8 60 foot and i got the time slips....

Learning how to drive is the best mod. A stock evo will do low 13 when driven properly.
