That 60' sucks for having drag radials. My old CRX could pull 2.24 60's on crappy as dunlop tires. Work on the launch and get the wheelhop under control and you'll have a 13 second car easily. I imagine you should be pulling 1.9-2.0 60's.

Sounds like all you need is practice!

From the list you have it seems like a pretty stout setup you have!

i was talking to my nieghbor today and he said he normally runs consistant 11.68s(99ws6T/A) but due to the weather he was running 12.28s SO with that said shouldn't i be running atleast 13.60s then with practice i would be running faster?

pulled 2.0 60fts in my teg on st. tires at 20psi. i say get the 60 down to 2.0 and you should prolly be in the 13's nicely.

Yes you should be running a bit faster, 4-1 header with 2 1/2' collector and exhaust would help the bottleneck, you didn't specify the size of your exhaust, but with that set-up you should def. be running 2 1/2"

Your 60 ft. could be better, but you should still be running a faster 1/8 time with that 60 ft. You should still have run about 8.8 at 80+mph. Maybe you need to shift faster or something. Your 1/8 speed is too low. I ran 9.4 @ 77mph in a heavy *** 00 Civic Si with a 2.1 60 ft. Car only had i/h/e, VAFC and some nice suspension mods and the back seats removed. Work on that 1/8 time and speed, and try to get that 60 ft. down to at least 2.0 and you should easily be running 13s. Maybe your Jamex suspension is too soft and causing your launch to be crappy.
