You are now just running around stock numbers or a little worse. With the streetport and dp you should be well into the 13's. Do you know what boost you are running at?? Maybe just a little more practice at the strip will get your numbers down. Good luck.

I've got a 13.6@101.96....but still not a 13.5. One major factor is weather conditions. A slight head wind, or a little to hot at the track, heat soak, etc. all make a difference.
I've heard rumors that someone ran a 13.3xx@103 on the big list, but i don't know if its true or not.

yeah drag racing isnt as easy as it look
i launched at a 3k clutch dump, got wheel hop all thought first
assuming my car is running in the condition it should be then i am running 10 psi, but i go no boost guage yet :o ,so i do not know for sure, so 10 or less
but i've also been told PIR sucks for traction, pp13bnos can vouch for me on that, i might have to take a trip down to woodburn and see if i can break 13s
oh by the way my 14.2 was good enough to smoke a Mustang SVT Cobra, and oh yeah it felt good

Anyone managing a 13.5 (or better) stock has a factory freak (more than average horsepower) or is running drag radials or slicks, and has plenty of passes under his (or her) belt. Most people run 14.0 (or worse) with their stock cars, however. I've even seen several 300+ RWHP cars fail to break 13.5 on radials. 13.6 @ 117.4 mph, in one case.
Kevin Wyum ran a 13.2 @ 103 mph with his '93 R1 while it was stock, but knowing Kevin, I assume he was on slicks. He was also very, very good at drag racing. First RX-7 into the 10s on the stock twins and the stock engine back in '96.
