Why is my car so fast?

I made my first visit to the track yesterday in my FD that I purchased in November. Keep in mind that these times are at 5800ft elevation.

1st Run:
2.140 60'
13.079 @ 110.43

2nd Run:
2.108 60'
12.930 @ 113.71

3rd Run:
1.806 60'
12.482 @ 115.03 (clutch slipped all the way down the track)

Relevant mods are stock reman motor, PFC, full 3" mandrel exhaust, hard intake pipes w/ K&N's, Greddy alternator & water pump pullies, Walbro 255 lph fuel pump, 275/35 BFG Drag Radials...

I was running a peak of .88 kg/cm2 (12.5 psi) and seeing 91% peak injector duty cycles.

It's time for a clutch but I'm amazed at how well it performed, it shocked the hell out of me.

The last number sounds about right with drag radials and the mods you listed.. with a good launch on those drag slicks

I see everyone else running 108-110 trap speeds with the same modifications at sea level. Just surprising to me I guess!

Drag radials get your car going very quickly. Those numbers are good, but not out of the ordinary.

Sorry I wasn't keeping track of my intake temps.
The track temps were 62, 67, 68 for each of the three runs.
