Whoops... I didn't realize how high above sea level he was racing at.

According to Drag Racing Correction Formulas

If you're correct about running at 5500 ft above, your car (at sea level) would have ran 14.3 @ 96 MPH

interesting never seen you at the track

Thanks for your help guys, so by the replies i figure my problem is traction! My next mods will be
1.Lower control arms
2.Subframe connectors
3.MT drag radials

I currently have sitting in the garage a set of H&R springs and tokico adjustable shocks/struts so hopefully that will help to
