I'M FINALLY IN THE 14s!!!!!!!
 
.189
2.314
6.317
9.606
75.20
12.441
14.842
93.18

humidity: 70
temp: 65

I ran this with: intake, ypipe, 41 lb stock gxe 15" steelies/tires in the front(26psi), removed spare tire and jack, 1/4 tank of gas

Launch and shifting technique: slipped the clutch at 2k. 1-2 @redline, 2-3 @ 6.4k, 3-4 @6.2k. From the start I thought my 60' was gonna be like a 2.7 cause I spun all through 1st gear, but I managed a 2.314.

Both of my other runs were 15-flat with 2.415 and 2.471 60's.

Congrats!!!!

Lower that 60' time and you'll drop more time off the 1/4.

thanx man. congrats to u as well-14.6.

Is it true for every .1 off the 60' = .2 off the 1/4(roughly)? If this is true than with a 2.2xx I can run a 14.6 just like you did.

and the same thing for the 15.0 with a 2.4. It will be 14.6 with a 2.2

yea I was thinking the same thing. I usually gain 19-20mph from the 1/8-the 1/4 but this run I only gained 17.98mph.

My left front tire was leaking a little on the way there so I had to run that at 21psi. I set the right tire at 26psi. Might that be the reason why I only gained 17.98mph instead of 19-21.
