Is it me or car?? (long)

Are you running 14* with the spout out??? If you are running without it, that is not good as your timing is not advancing past 14*.
To help you out, here is a copy of a timeslip I made in my dad's 91GT. It was 100% stock except for 14* timing and ripped out air silencer. Maybe you can compare this to yours and see where you're gaining time.
60'-2.217
330-6.113
1/8-9.407
mph-74.47
1000-12.223
1/4-14.601
mph-94.63

Are you spinning on the 1-2 shift? Your car looks like it is slowing between the 1-2 shift as your 60's look good, but your 330 is slow. Your clutch will slip more on the top end than it will out of the hole, the tires turn easier in the lower gears, but it takes more force in the upper mph range to turn the tires, that is when the clutch will slip more, but normally if it does, your MPH would be lower too.

BTW- I shifted the car at 5200rpms. Shifting at 5200 in both my 95GT and my dad's 91 resulted in the best ET's.
