Do you mean into 14's or out of 14's. I ran a 13.8 with a 2.15 60' and 99.5mph, so there is no reason why you shouldn't be mid to low 14's as it is. Do you have a slip?

edit:

Here is a slip that is closer to your numbers. Even with your 60' you should have 14's easily unless you are having issues shifting or a slipping clutch?

huh...at 98 mph you should definately be going faster than 15 flat. I'm around 96 mph spinnin at the line and managed a 14.9...boost gauge pegged. How the hell are you hitting fuel cut at 8 psi? boost leak?

Yeah, with a 2.5 60' that makes sense, that puts you right in line with my run if you pulled a 2.25. I say keep on boostin, one of these times you are bound to hook up, that is what I had to do when I started out. Do you think you could be pulling a one wheel peel or is your diff in order?

the first time i went to the track i was getting ~2.4 60' times, ran a 14.3 at 102.... the trap speed seems kind of high for the time... so i'll learn how to launch better before going again.
