98 MPH is good for 13.8 with some great driving. No power shifting needed at this level. Here is what I did:

Back in the day when my car still had stock heads I went 13.336 @ 98.6 MPH
So to answer you question, 13's are VERY doable with just 98 MPH

Oh yeah, I vote for NO powershifting.
You should ask those guys who advised it how many trannies they have gone through and how much powershifting REALLY helped ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)
BTW, 66 cobra dude, I know you have a 3550 so you don't count

I'm sure durring the extra ~100,000 miles my car has over most other 5.O's; all the pot holes, speed bumps, count for something as well.

So to answer you question, 13's are VERY doable with just 98 MPH
how much did your car weigh and what was your 60ft if you remember?
-.. well the best i have gotten so far is 14.1 with a 1.991 60ft at 96.994 so i guess i have to keep trying... any advice on were i should shift at .... its a all stock 90 lx except for c&l 76mm mass air stock censor with the true flow inlet tube and bbk equal lenghts bassani high flow x with dyno bullets ... maybe my problem is i have sportline springs? ![[Confused]](confused.gif)
i went to sac yesterday and it was my first time on bfg d/r and my best mph was 98 and my d/r's were brand new and are almost bald ![[Mad]](mad.gif)
hey sawnson did you take your front sway bar of when you hit 13's? did you take any weight out of your car?
thanks

Race weight was 3450 lbs. I believe the 60ft was a 1.72x I'm sure it was no faster than that because that was my best 60ft before the head swap.
My only advice to you is to shift by the seat of your pants. As soon as the car feel like it is "falling off grab the next gear. Also, just keep imporving your shifting speed

I didn't have my sway bar connected and as for weight reduction, just the spare and jack compared to normal street duty. I believe I was somewhere around 3275 lbs going down the track that day.
