With the DR's, you need to shoot for a 60 foot of 1.8...that should be your goal. You should be able to launch that puppy around 4500 rpms. Dropping your 60 foot from a 2.0+ to a 1.8 should take almost 0.4 off your quarter. You should be able to pull down into the mid 13's with your setup....I would say that should be a good goal for you.

Do you speed shift yet? Probably not based on your post. That's fine. I only speed shift from 1st to 2nd as there is no risk of missing a shift and that is where most of the benefit is comming from as compared to other gears.

What altitude are you racing at? You may want to correct your times. If you are at say 1500 feet, your corrected times will be deep into the 13's.

Your trap speed is a little slow....this is why I think you may be at some altitude. You should be trapping at 98 - 99 with your mods. Certainly, a 100 would not be out of the question.

Did you pull your passenger side headlight out? That is good for 1 - 2 miles per hour in the trap...it creates a ram air affect. What rpm are your shifting? I hear 5600 is the best shift point from most guys with a 5 speed and stock cams etc... I have seen lots of posts from guys who shifted at redline, then tried at 5600 and picked up some time.
