Default embarassed about my 1/4 mile run

Sup peoples....so, I went to a local event here in good ol' wichita, ks. where they had test and tune runs, and bracket racing. I was only able to run my Z 3 times but it seems like I'm running about mid 14's..... I only have an aem CAI for engine mods. I also have a grounding kit, but honestly I think those are just a "piece of mind" type mods. Oh yea, and I cut out the mid muffler on my oem exhaust. Anyone running better with N/A engines? maybe it's the driver

No offense, but yes.. it is mostly the driver. I'm not the best driver, but I did get alot better after quite a bit of practice. What was your 60-foot time, and what was your trap speed?

13.79 is nothing to flap your gums about on an HR.....just keep at it....your times will drop with more seat time.

I have an envelope filled with 14.5 time slips. No big deal.

What you did was try racing in a safe environment. For that you get two thumbs up.

Practice and you will be in the top-25. No practice and you are condemned to a life of bench racing.
