Could somebody tell me what's wrong?

I have been to the strip twice and the fastest that I ran was a 16.0 @ 96 MPH in the 1/4. My engine is mostly stock, but was rebuilt as a 306. I have a cold air intake, electric fan, underdrive pulleys, and BBK headers. Should my car be going faster than this?

Also I just put on a Performer Typhoon intake, how much will this increase my ETs?

i got a 14.7 at 93 miles per hour with a 60 at 2.23 and an 1/8 of 9.5....you cant really get an accurate gauge on the time just by mph...some car get to their top speed faster but they come out of the hole a lot slower and some are the other way around...we do need to know if its spinning and if its aod or 5 speed, what kind of tires.....

60's not that bad, your 1/8th time is really bad and your 1/8th mph has to be wrong cause 91-95 in the 1/8th is like in the low 12 high 11 range. If your running a 2.1 60' and a 10 1/8th I'd say it's somewhere in between there that your having a problem.

You sure you were cutting 2.1 and 2.2 60's?? Based on your MPH and your time I would say your just spinning badly out of the hole and cutting 2.5 - 2.7 60' times. A good ET in the 1320 is all in the first 60' of the race. A bad 60' with equal a bad ET everytime. Guaranteed.

Is a 2.2 60' time good???

By a set of ET streets and you should be instantly in the 1.8 60' times

1.8 60ft with a almost stock car.. With no suspension mods.. Maybe but I doubt it..

Maybe you should buy a pair of ET streets too.

My friend Brandon has the most stock 87 GT I ever seen and he consistently pulls 1.7 60' times buy dumping the clutch at 4500 rpms. The only upgrade he has is 3:55 gears and exhaust.

I've seen at least 4-5 other mostly stock foxes pull consistent 1.8 60' times. You don't need suspension mods with 225 hp, you just need sticky tires.

I pulled a 2.2 60' time by rolling out at idle...lol
