I'm not a drag racing expert but your going to need to post the whole setup on the car.. cam, tires, suspension.  Also post the whole time slip, need your times and speeds throughout the entire run.

yeah, if you're running 295 hp in a 5000 pound vehicle then well....that's a great time!

Post up some more info to include what kind of help you are looking for.  Obviously, your wanting a lower time (don't we all), but are you having issues shifting/staging/launching....?

Need more info about your car but are you running street tires? My combo (3700lbs+ with driver) goes 14.20s on street tires. My best 60 foot on street tires has been 2.25. With drag radials and a 1.8 60 foot the thing would be deep in the 13s. Tires make a big difference in how fast your car is going to go down the quarter.
