Z run 13.88
Finally got my DV cam, took some pic of my time slip I ran at the track awhile back. I like carry the slip every where so sorry about the crease. I have a Touring, got some Nitto 555 on 17" wheel weight reduce like seat, spare tire and 100 octane gas. Best time all day was 13.88. Happy but not. Wish I did better but maybe future mod will help out. So here a few angle of the slip.

Yeah some guy at the track was telling me the same thing. He said that reaction time really don't improve the e.t that much it the 60ft that count. I try lower my PSI some more but it didn't help. Maybe next time I should heat up the tires some more that might help out. And improve my reaction time. I planning to get intake,exhaust. Maybe I'll run better.

Reaction time has nothing to do with the ET.
However, the 60 ft time does. The 2.4 sec 60 ft is pretty crappy, so you should be hitting mid 13s with a better 60 ft time.
Good 1/4 ET, nonetheless, and great trapspeed.
Also, which track was this?

Did you still roast them to a 2.4, or did the sudden jolt just scare you. I know that happened to me the first time I dumped my Mustang at 5 grand with slicks. Oh well I got worse times with slicks anyway.

did you guys notice that he trapped almost 103mph....that's a pretty impressive trap. And 82mph in the 1/8 is probably the best I've seen out of a Z yet. Although I don't know if the 100 octane gas helped any.
Higher octane isn't always better. The higher the octane the slower and more controlled the burn in the cylinder is. Our ECU is tuned for 91-93 octane...not 100. High octane is for cars that are prone to detonation due to high boost or very high compression....

Hey thanks guy for all your info but how do I improve my 60ft time? If reaction time is not a factor what can I do to improve my 1/4 and trap speec? So many diffrent advice, I'm not sure which one to listen too. If there is any pro racer out there who can give me some lesson I would be greatful. I'm just getting into drag racing and really don't understand alot about it. I thought I did pretty bad! Thank for all the support. O yeah thank BriGuyMax for that info about the gas. I didn't know that!

I think compression is in the 10s, 100 octane probably isnt a good idea. The best way to improve your 60' is better traction. With the DRs you should be able to wake it up good. What rpm are you stalling to, even with DRs if you just rev to 5 grand and dump the clutch your going to lite'em up. Seems most guys here like to stall to 2800 to 3000 and feather the clutch, you should be able to be more aggressive in the launch, maybe just slipping it out quicker at a slightly higher rpm. But you dont want to dead hook, your motor might not have the grunt to not bog, I know when I put 10.5" slicks on my stang the 60' suffered because the car dead hooked and bogged and didnt have the power to handle the traction.
