I pulled a 13.94 @ 103.03mph in my Base Auto!
This was done at 116ft of elevation, 90 degrees outside. Fully gutted. Full Bolt ons. I am guessing I'm the first ever auto base to break 13's on the strip.

Nice work. Don't mind the negative people who will come along and downplay your accomplishments. Their corn flakes are a little soggy. You are the first AZ documented base automatic in the 13's.
Also, this is the more appropriate forum for this stuff. You can post your slip in the sticky:

You should really look into getting a torque converter. You're still cutting 2.1 60 fts, and only running 9.0 in the 1/8th. All your ET is on the top end. If you could launch, I could see shaving .5 - .8 sec off your ET. Look at the timeslip you raced against. It was a half a second ahead of you in the 1/8th, and ended up running nearly half a second faster in the 1/4, but 5mph slower. You need some gearing bad.

IPT is a good place to start for the Torque Converter. I'm also wondering if the Megashift will be adaptable to a 5AT (MegaShift/GPIO Transmission Controller). Might be a good investment.

Remove spare tire/jack and replace with a tire plug kit+air pump. Saves ~30lbs. Lightweight battery/tray another ~20lbs+. Air intake and j pipe together another ~10-15lbs etc. Seats are heavy too but pricey to replace like those front rotors you mentioned. If you're brave, removing front/rear bumpers will save another ~30lbs.

G37 usually runs 13.8-14.1 and traps 98-102mph stock.
The G37x is awd and weighs 200lbs (3800lbs curb total) more than a RWD G37 so the G37x might actually be slightly slower.
I think at the drag strip you'll win.
In the streets from a 30, 60 or 80 roll the G37 will win to 125mph.
Your TL falls on its face after 110mph thanks to 4th gear. My G37 continues to pull past 110mph easily compared to my previous 5AT TL.
At the end of the day you have a completely gutted, bare-bones, uncomfortable, noisy "dedicated" drag car with full bolt-ons and lightweight wheels that runs about the same times as a completely stock G37. Who's the real winner here?
