Advice for faster time?

I got an L99 and I just got back from track today and I was running really really really bad times. I ran a 13.9 as my best and consistently ran a 14.0~

Last week I ran a 13.4, and consistently ran 13.5~....

Do y'all think I should get a fuse pull or just attribute my slow times to me sucking this week?

I don't know.

But the M6 at the track was running 13.3, 13.2 consistently.

Lots of tips on drag racing in this thread.
http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62548
Minimize wheel spin with A6. Brake around 800 rpm and roll into throttle.
Get Trailing Arms. Reduce 60 foot and stop wheel hop which will break things.

Adjust your times for DA and then compare. Here's a good link... IMO you don't need a fuse pull but it never hurts.

Unless the temps and humidity were really different between the 2 weeks, I'd say you need to do the fuse pull and watch the gas station where you got your gas the time just before going back to the track, you may be getting premium gas that is not actually premium.
