I have no tach... maybe i should get mine fixed... i had a SOHC do i have to replace it or is there an adapter to make it read millivolts.

Even IF someone runs the same times as you do doesn't mean your car isn't going fast, you MUST look at the whole timeslip to see if the person knows how to drive or not. For instance, if your car and another car runs 13.7, and yours pulls a 2.0 60' @94mph, and the other guy does a 2.5 @105mph, that means he fucked up, NOT that your car has "no balls" up top. This was the case when i was racing my dyno guys 03 M5, both of us were running 13.2-13.4 but my mph was 111 (2.4 60') and his was 108 (2.1 60'), when i got my slicks and lsd i finally ran my 12.3 (1.7 60').
Basically you can't look at MPH alone, alot of other factors come into play.
