So i went to the track last night for the first time ever. My very first run i got a 1/4 mile time of 14.1 at 100 mph and a reaction time of .067. Oh and my 60' time was 2.1 . Are these numbers any good? My mustang is bone stock. Only thing i had was drag radials,i kno it doesnt need them but reason is that when i bought my wheels the drag radials were cheaper and only ones available in 305 width. i love wide tires. my second run was 14.3 at 98 mph. My question is, are these typical numbers for a bone stock mustang, or should i be running better, like 13's or sumthing?? Reason for the question was because someone told me that i should be in the high 13's if im trapping at 100 mph.

What were the track conditions,weather, elevation? 14 @ 100 is not bad. But with dr's, a 2.1 60ft, and 100 mph trap speed. Seems like high 13's are more in order.
I have nitto 555r 305/40/18 dr's and love them, although driving on the street everything sticks to them and i got a flat in one now i got to shell out $270 for another and there was a ton of tread left. Didnt get to test them at the track yet either.
I think this should be in the drag section...

what rpm where you launching at?? that seems like a high sixty foot time with drag radials. What gears do you have in the rear?? 3:55s or 3:31?

What is the elevation of the track you run at?
Do you have a 5speed manual or 5speed auto?
What rear gears do you have?

well im not sure of the elevation of the track but i went to Maryland International Raceway (MIR) , but im guessing its around 300 ft because its close to where i live. I have 3:55 gears with a 5-speed manual. I would launch at around 3k RPMs and the track was very well prepped, amazing grip. My problem was when i launched my car, it bogged both runs on the launch. Im guessing i need more RPM??

Man those times are pretty close to what my car ran last month. I ran a [email protected] with a 2.029 60ft da' was about 3200+. Mods on the car where bfg drag radials,shifter,and flowmaster axle back. Track prep was insane too and in all my runs i would bog pretty bad even launching on the rev limiter.

Launching ridding the rev limiter and still bogging?!?

There's your problem, you launched at only 3K with DR which caused the car to bog. Next time launch at 5 to 6K and see if that helps.

Yup. Track prep was pretty damn good because they had a couple of 6 sec. cars running before me. I just got a intake and tune so i set the rev limiter at 6500k hopping it will help me next season. Pretty sure i will have some 4.30's in by then though

MIR is 87' above sea level. the DA for that night was
Density Altitude: 826 feet
Relative Density: 97.61 %
66.2 Deg
29.92 in
88% Humidity
So your time 14.0 @ 100 Corrected for DA is
Stock and Mildly Modified Naturally Aspirated Engines
13.892 @ 100.766 MPH
