those numbers are looking alot better. If you get some longtubes and a good stall, I would stay under 3000 if you go off-roading or tow alot and i think that you would be in the 14s no prob.

F8L Z71: I did a search, and Island Dragway (Great Meadows, NJ), is 180 feet above sea level. I ran the 15.684 at 4:13 PM on May 7, 05. It was about 70*, and hella windy. Not sure of the humidity, but I don't think it was that bad. As far as extra weight, I have a Pace Edwards Jack Rabbit retracting tonneau cover (gotta be 85-90 lbs), a GM drop in bedliner, and a bunch of little crap (Infinity Basslink, roadside repair kit, crap in the console...probably an extra 50-75 lbs). I normally weigh about 175, but I ate a track burger and 24 oz. of coffee before the run lol.
greentahoe: Yup, I've already got the 02 PCM...I check for KR periodically (don't have any logging software, just a cheapo AutoXray, so I gotta scan while I drive), and it's been good.
BeefTip: I don't do any off-roading or towing, but this is my daily driver. Any suggestions on which stall to go with? I've been thinkin TrailBlazer...or even a TCI Saturday Night Special (2200-2400)

exhaust can hold you back
Ive gained at least 4 tenths in the 1/8th just screwing around
with mine
TOGS TD magnaflow with xpipe and a little 45 after the xmember
lets see .4 x 1.56= .624
I think thats the 1/4 conversion

LOL
It's tough because the only data I can find is for Somerville which shows an elevation of 1040ft. ABSL.... If I use that data I come up with a 2012ft. DA. Which isn't goo dbut it isn't completely horrible.
Now if you say that the track is 180ft above sea level then the DA would have been 953ft. I would assume it would be warmer also so making the temp 70deg instead of 66.9deg would bring the DA to 1152ft.
Soooo We have a worst case of 2012ft and a best case of 953ft.
If EVERYTHING was perfect and you were at sea levelyou may have ran a 15.3 but that is still too low and doing these kinds of conversions don't always pan out.
So It's my estimation that somewthing is wrong or holding you back big time.
