Originally posted by Warmage12 I've been to the track a couple times, one trip was nice, the other ended in my last engine rebuild. SO i figured i'd throw my time out and see how i did. I have a short ram, headers, cat delete, engine mounts and HAD a 50 mm TB. I have a 95 RS the motor HAD 100,000+ miles on it but in good condition. Full interior car. I weigh 140 lbs. I ran a 10.4 best on a 1/8 mile. Then she broke. I don't look for a long thread. Just some general ideas. engine made 117 HP 115TQ A stokish subaru impreza 2.5L (nonboosted type) ran a 10.1 same track. (Manual) That just for a lil comparison of the track. I love my car... I love Horsepower... I love reliability... So why do i own a DSM again?
My best 1/8th mile is a 9.68 (that is for my 15.1 sec run). I can usually nudge into 9.9s on a 15.5 sec 1/4 mile run.
A 10.4 sec 1/8th mile is about a low 16 1/4 mile run. The 10.1s usually are for a 15.6 or 15.7 sec for me. The subaru, being AWD, probably would have had a little slower 1/4 mile for the same 1/8th mile.
Overall, pretty good, considering the the short ram helps some (but sucks in hot air vs. a cold air intake, which I think on the right day does help), as does having no cathelp a little, but the headers probably didn't do much and nothing else probably did much (did you mean 60mm TB, and not 50mm? as the stock TB is 54mm). So it is a little better than stock and you ran a little better than the typical stock 1/4 mile time, so I'd guess you're about there, with more practice I think you could nudge it down another 0.1 or 0.15 in the 1/8th.
