Ok, this was my first time at the drag strip and my first couple of run sucked a$$. (tires sucked by the way)


Heres a list of mods:
AEM Short Ram
Greddy EVO
Ebay Short Shifter
*Removed spare tire and jack

60' =3.042
330=7.582
1/8=11.511
MPH=62.99
1000=14.843
1/4=17.637
MPH=79.82
(FIRST and WORST RUN)


60' =2.561
330=7.102
1/8=10.851
MPH=65.70
1000=14.078
1/4=16.783
MPH=83.17
(4th and BEST RUN)

After the 4th run my time kept gettin' slower and slower, prolly because i don't let it cool enough. It was pretty cold so I wasn't gettin' the best traction out of my not so good tires. Do you guys think I should be running faster?

16.7 is kinda high, but its not bad for the not-so-avid runner.
practice more and you should make it a bit faster

Don't feel bad it was my 1'st time at the track last week and I ran a 15.1 @104 mph. I tribute my crappy time to inexperience and no traction. My current setup is a Stock B16 A2 swap with intercooled 9psi of boost. I dynoed it at 270whp and 188 foot pound of torque. Haltech ECU,ACT Street Race clutch,ported TB,RC550 injectors.
I had wheel spin all the way to mid 3rd gear, so i figure that's where I was loosing most of my time.;( ;(

anybody else got timeslips with minor mods??

wheresmylicense: the ebay shifter works great, i got it as a gift from my gf and i just purchased polyurethane bushings for it...every shift is crisp, precise and firm; did i mention it noticeably shorter than before?
