I hit a 15.943 @ 86.48mph - 2.414 60' today at Atco. YEAH!!! I'm in the 15s!!!
It was a great day of racing for me. 4 runs total. Nothing above a 16.2. I actually beat my old time twice today. First run was a 16.2. On my second run I got a 16.026 @ 87.49 mph - with a 2.39 60' time - yeah 16 flat! I beat my old 16.1! The third run was the best time though - in the 15s. That one was against a Mustang GT and I was surprised how close I was running to him. Last run was a 16.2. Another good thing about today was that I actually got to beat up on some cars. That's never happened to me before. I totally demolished a Pontiac Sunfire, and I also beat a Miata. I'd been talking to the dude in the Miata(Ryan) like all day - and it just ended up that we raced on the last run. It was cool.

If you could get a 2.0 60ft, you could be at a 15.1 technically. But that is no easy task! Great runs. On street tires, working the launch, if you can muster a 2.2 60ft, you will see around a 15.4-15.5 1/4 time.

Thanks. Yeah I'd really like to hit mid 15s before I put the turbo on. Traction is a HUGE issue with my car. I still haven't tried lowering the pressure on the front tires, figured out a clutch dump speed, etc. I'm just kind of racing it like I would on the street. I need more practice.
As far as power mods - Ebay short ram air intake, Jeep 60mm TB, Gude cams, ported exhaust manifold, test pipe, GS-T cat back, AFX UDP, Field SFC Hyper-R Boxer Series(like an S-AFC), f/r Bomz strut bars, f/r Hurricane ties, custom short shifter.
EDIT - LOL! I just notitced your oil mod. Thats a good one man.

see the thing i dont get is that im running 15.9 with a 2.15 60ft time with only a short ram and a exhaust with some mild porting. anyways sounds like your top end is built but why are we running the same thing??? well the 60ft time duh but i would figure you would run a lil faster then me i dont know just thinking

Yeah, I've got TERRIBLE traction off the line. I use my stock 14s with shitty Uniroyal Tiger Paws on them. I've been thinking that I want to put a pair of those DOT slicks on for the track nights. The absence of traction is really starting to piss me off. Also, even with all my mods - my rings are kind of on their way out. Last time I did a compression check(a while ago), they came up 160, 180, 185, 165 - or something like that. I'm building a new block right now so that should help.
You know, my company is based in Hawaii. I haven't been out there in a while but the next time out maybe we can do some racing. I'd love to borrow my partner's Porche for a night at the track. He used to race his Bugs there, long long ago.
