New best time, but still dissapointed

This was my third time at the track with my Maxima, and the first time with the Greddy Evo. My previous best was a 15.17 @ 92.6. The stock runs were with consistent 2.3 60' times. I figured if I could get down to a 2.2 60' I would have had a 14 in stock trim. My runs on friday netted a best of 15.06 @ 92.7. My best mph was 94.6 . I believe I gained hp from the exhaust seeing as I gained about 2 mph and the temperaure friday was an unseasonably warm 70+ compared to my other runs which were on nights in the mid to low 60's. Traction was also limited as my 60' times varied from 2.3-2.6 andI varied my lanchesfrom 2k-3k with similar results. Other than getting so close to a 14 and not making it, i'm pretty satisfied with my exhaust, though it could be a little louder. All runs including stock were made "heavy" with full interior and a near full tank of gas and without airing down the tires.

Your 94mph trap speed shows you have a 14 sec car. Drop the psi of your tires and go with less gas and you will hit 14's no problem.
