i really can't believe there isn't a running post for this yet, or at least none of the search keywords i looked for picked it up. i'd like to see a post that can be referenced by everyone that lists what times we have all run, with an accompanying list of how much boost or nitrous is being used and what other mods are present. i am curious as to how much my times will change with the addition of the FMIC, built block (this time with 4 intact piston rings instead of 2 or 3) and the 3" DP.
so i guess i'll start it off (keep in mind, my time is the only one i've ever gotten. i used the HKS type-1 US Spec TT quarter mile calculator. before you discredit the accuracy, they are accurate to within .03 seconds and of course the trap speed is whatever your speedo is at when the timer beeps).
15.5 (trap speed not accurate enough for me to list i don't think) at the time i was: HRC Stage 1 @ 5psi CAI (ineffecive) AFX UDP and at least 1 fully decimated piston ring about 200lbs of net added vehicle weight (200 removed, 400 added).
current setup (as of a couple weeks from now) will be: HRC stage II @ 9-10psi (HRC FMIC) 8.6:1 JE Pistons, Eagle rods balanced and Bp'd SPEC stage IV clutch AFX UDP 3" downpipe, no cat, 3" open dump exhaust motor mount inserts 60mm throttle body
my ONLY CONCERN is, with the above mods and a better launch, should i be capable of running a time lower than 14 seconds?

Very true guys. Driving certainly plays into it a lot. I guess when i started reading the post, guys were getting 15's and 14's with boost, I got discouraged. I mean, I know our cars are heavy, but I'm glad to know there are good et's (and mph's) to be had.
Thanks, Brian

I'm sorry, I don't get around much. The main players are the slicks. Drag radials + 1WD = good for shit. Get a nice set of M&H racemasters, heat them up, and slip the clutch at 6k and you'll feel just how fun it is to actually launch.
other than that, HRC kit + built motor + 16-17psi. Really, really untuned. Shitty fuel system. We're taking care of the tuning and fuel system this year, so, if everything goes well, I will be in the low 12's. I only got one decent launch. My highest trap run was 13.1 @ 114, shitty launch. Jon

13.41 @ 107 ON 11 psi and drag radials. I pulled a 2.161 60 ft. The car was untuned and running lean up top. I was using the dfi with 625s. Im switching fuel systems for this season, and hope to show some 11 sec passes on more boost and the bottle.
I went 13.10 @ 114 on my old setup. I pulled a 2.2 60 ft., and was running 12 psi w/ 100shot. Back then I had the s16g w sidemount, dfi, 625s, built shortblock, and drag radials.
