Default 1/4 Mile Time Taken With Aeroforce Gauge...

How accurate do you guys think that this is? I took it with my Aeroforce Gauge, and I have read about alot of people who have had fairly accurate times taken with these gauges... anyone have any opinions? See attached File, sorry it's so blurry.

And for those of you that may not be able to size it smaller to a readable level, it reads:

1/4 Mile
13.50s @104 MPH
1/8 Mile
8.51 @ 82MPH

ZERO to 60 MPH
4.83S

Opinions?

OH, and just to clarify as well, NO tire slippage. I eased on the gas for the first 5 MPH, so I avoided the infamous tire burnout and lack of power afterwards.

Take it to the track and then we will know for sure. .. Though are there other cars with the near same amount of mods around that have some timeslips? Might help gauge if it seems right.. Though at the track you are going to run into some tire slipping and taking off like that might affect the predicted times..It takes some good power and good suspension and traction to run mid 13's in any car.. The theoretical 1/4 mile calculators say that 240 whp gets you low 14's..
104 mph seems high too..

Though this is just speculation.. i go to the track a whole lot... 90% of montes of all ages run slower than 14.5 There is always some 4th gen trailored in kinda car that has enough power to run 10's or 11's.. but otherwise they aren't super cars.. no offense .. I realize my 13.2 isn't really even that fast either to lots of people.. i think 14s are fast lol

For some reason i kept thinking it was N/A.. in that case yea its more possible.. I've seen some S/C montes/other bodies run good numbers.. But still i stand by the fact at the track, traction would be a big issue for the number.. its hard to be controlled at the lights.. but if you trapped 104 mph then yea.. chances are you can run 13.50's or better.. Plus all the other variations you might come across at a timed event.. Did you dyno the car for the HP listed in your sig?

Hm .. well dunno what to say other than can't wait to see what happens at the track! I was thinking a lot of people who run 103-105 mph at low 13's should be able to get easy another 1/2 sec with good suspension/ sticky tires and such ( maybe launch technique).. they have plenty of power looks like..

A stock Z06 runs around 11.5 in the quarter, and 3.4 0-60.
