What track do you run at? I see your from PA, but I don't know where Danville is, I run at Keystone Raceway near Pittsburgh. You should run better, but it was your first time and that means a lot. You will get better with practice. Example- right after we bought my dad's 91GT we took it to the track and my dad was new to it. He had run maybe 3-4 times before in his old Vette, but this was his first time in the stang. His best was a 14.9 at something like 91-92mph. I ran it to a 14.60 at 94+mph with a 2.1X 60'. The more you take it to the track, the more your times will fall. Get that 60' down into the 2.0-2.1 range and you'll see the ET's you should. Also, what did you shift at? Anything more than 5200 is over kill and will actually slow your car down. Prime example- my dad when he was new at the drag scene used to take the rev's up to 5500-5800 between shifts, his MPH was typically 1-2mph slower in doing so, likewise in his ET.
