confused after running slow time
i have a 87 n/a with a new motor with 15,000 miles. mods i have are a full racing beat exhaust including the header, and a K&n intake. my best time at the track last night was a 16.2 in the 1/4 mile. i was disappointed, thinking that i would at least be in the 15's. any suggestions?

yeah my car is a 5 speed. my launches were definitely the problems i ran into. i was getting some pretty bad wheel hopping. my shifts were pretty smooth at aroung 7000 rpm. i definitely think my launch is what hurt me.

I dunno why you think a 16.2 is slow?
16.2 is pretty damn fast for your mods.
What was your 60' time?
Was it 2.2 or faster?
The car is still running pretty damn rich, and you need some kinda fuel computer to dial out all that extra fuel.
