Does anyone know what could be the problem?

The situation: I have 88 GTA w/ Lt1 Afr 195s port matched to the intake manifold 30 lb injectors comp xtreme energy cam 224 duration 535 intake 550 exhaust 1.6 to 1 roller rockers headman shortie headers K&N filter flowmaster american thunder exhaust 2400 stalll speed and a 3.70 rear gear

The datamaster I am using says that I am running 13.7 in the 1/4 mile. (I ran 13.7 before the cam cylinder heads and roller rockers were upgraded) Does this seem ridiculous? I was wanting to know what I might do to match my combo better maybe a 58mm throttle body instead of the stock one?

Datamaster is a logging program. I am confused w/ what you are saying you have. Is it an LT1 w/ AFR 195 heads? Or a Gen I 350 w/ AFR 195 heads, and a converted LT1 intake?

To me that setup should be running mid 12s possibly w/ some traction. I don't know that I trust the Datamaster program for "times."

No i know what a datamaster IS, i was getting at the same point as you....about trusting one for 1/4 mile times.

Gotcha!!!

That motor in your car w/ AFR heads, and that cam should see 12s w/ the right gearing and converter. IMO...Maybe mid 12s...

Don't trust that Datamaster time stuff...
