No that is not good for a car with headers and exhaust.
My car is stock and I ran a 13.0 at 109 at HRP. Up here in Big D I run about 2-3 tenths slower and the MPH comes down to about 105. You should be in the high twelves at least.
If you are racing on the run-craps they don't help.
Good luck and keep on practicing.

yes your 60' is pretty bad, but even if you cut a 1.9 60' which would be pretty good for a stock converter you would still only be running 12.90s or so which isnt so great for your mods. MPH is a pretty good indication of horsepower and 105 is pretty low - unless the density altitude was high. What track and what was the date/time you ran? I'll see what the DA was..

If you ran at HRP sunday the 23rd you arent doing to well, the DA was ~ -300' so that isnt what is slowing you down..
Post your dyno results when you get back..

I have a DA calculator in my old weather station. Go to http://www.chasinracin.com/track-loc...es/index.shtml to find the track and elevation of it. Then go to http://www.wunderground.com and get the historical weather data for that town, date and time. Then plug the numbers into the calculator :) There are plenty of DA calculators on the internet..

Re: IS THIS TRUE.......please help (kp)
I wouldn't be too concerned with the ET. That'll come down with practice. It's the MPH that shows the power and potential of the car. 105 is too low. You're probably running 275 to 280 rwhp. As a comparison, my Dads bone stock down to the paper air filter A4 w/3.15 gears ran 107 MPH. You're losing power somewhere.
