That's not too horrible, your driving just needs work I'm guessing. What was your 60ft time? Also, there could be something wrong with your engine.

Driver error or clutch slippage. Again 60ft time would help alot. It's not a bad time though, you don't hear about too many nat. asp. cars breaking to far into the 14's and some cars are running in the 16's.

i have a clutchmaster stage 1 clutch... my launch is HORRIBLE now that i have a lightened flywheel... i swapped a new transmission and now the driveshaft joint rubs the end of the transmission... i think that could contribute to horrible launches and power loss. i dont know... i have a BM short shifter and i shift lightning fast. my car feels so slow off the line now that i swapped the transmission and put the flywheel in

You should be able to get a 2.2 sec 60' time. For ever .1 sec over that, you lose nearly .2 sec in the 1/4.

Tires my friend, Tires. You'll be running high 15s afterward. Also, are you running a check engine light?
