Have someone drive it who might notice if there is anything wrong...

Try some simple mods too like a manual boost controler set to like 15psi, and some intercooler hoses perhaps to help the car out a little...

...but look at your mph. This number directly correlates to your power-to-weight ratio. Even with a lousy r/t or launch, your mph won't vary by much more than a mile an hour as long as you shift at the same rpm for each run.

you guys think i could run a 14.1 or 14 flat if i had a better reaction and a better 60 foot?
Maybe, but I'd be guessing. Just go to the drag strip and practice. Also, like someone has already pointed out in another thread, reaction time has no relevance to your 60 ft or your elapsed time. R/t is the time it takes your car to move out of the staging beams after the light turns green.

Quick reaction time just helps you beat the guy or gal in the next lane if the cars are equal in performance. This is how I got the upper hand a few months ago when I was up against a different SRT-4. His car E.T.'d quicker, 14.32 vs 14.54 seconds but my reaction times were better on both runs by as much as .60 seconds difference! I was able to carry that reaction advantage for the entire distance down the strip and he didn't have enough to catch me before I went through the lights at the other end.
