Okay it had been awhile since I had been to the track. I was kinda dissappointed with my times. Since the last time I was at the track, I have done a few things which seemed like, (atleast on the street) increased throttle response, etc. I have changed mufflers, P&P intake, Jeep Bored TB,Kumho Tires, ground wires. Nothing major but I thought I could atleast run low 16 high 15's.... What do I do next?? Other than the obvious N20 or Turbo..... Is my stock header resricting any or all of my intake work..... Basically should I get a header.... Or is there something Im overlooking, It was hot here today 80-85*/ 75-80% RH/ Wind across track @ 15-20 mph..... I had a TON of wheelspin all day (tried dropping it @ 4,000 and between 2,000)
Best Run-
-RT .546
-60' 2.408 (Tire slip)
-330' 6.889
-1/8 10.575
-MPH 64.89
-1000' 13.781
-1/4 16.481
-MPH 80.97

solid motor mounds, wider tires/rims, properly tuned safc (our cars run rich from the factory, by correctly tuning our fuel system we can actually gain a few ponies at the wheels), clutch restrictor mod, etc...there is still much to be done. have a look see what the big dogs of all motor are doing (i.e. DR, and others).

Will the SAFC give good gains with stock fuel system though? I thought it was more for upgraded injectors, fuel pump, fuel rail etc...... Its on my to do list but I want to wait till I get to that point.Unless it will work with what I have now I might have to get one. I thought about getting some slicks for the front tires (on stock steel rims, the black ones that come with hubcaps from a Talon) and running those at the track. I also bought some bumpstops for the rear springs but they were too thick, I need to take them back for the smaller ones. I want to get a header and do some P&P on the head. My soon to be bro in law said he would by me a header for my wedding present.....

This was my actual fastest time slip..... I found it in my pocket.
-RT .553

-1/4 16.425
-MPH 83.82

on ur sig, it says ur best time is a 15.9? am i correct? anyways, get a header, and ditch the gutted car for a testpipe. also what about a real cat-back system. redoing ur whole exhaust should add some. and don't forget the udp.

wind aided at night about 50 degrees wind down track at 15-25 mph

so. the hot air "hindered". what is normal?

Orlly? Thank you sir! :bowdown

The cheapest thing you can do to improve your time is weight reduction (at least up to a point). Pulling your passenger seat and everything behind the front seats (including the wing) will net you around 100lbs of weight. All other things being equal, you should drop a tenth just from that.

Practice your launches too. Start letting the clutch out when the next to last light goes. By the time you get the clutch engaged and moving, you'll be good to go. Or at least that's what I've heard. I'm a bitch ass street racer and just go from the green against anyone that looks at me sideways. :P

good reaction times... at least that seems to be consistent. your trap speeds seem kinda low for your times. I ran a 16.4, but @ almost 83mph. Although, I guess that's probably do to my R/T being worse (.68ish).
