1/4 mile

Ok, I'm going to run my car at Moroso, in West Palm Beach. I need to know, what is the best launch RPM.

My car is pretty much stock. All I have is a catback exhaust, and a cone filter.
on a a VG30E. i know these cars run about 16.7 stock. My goal is to hit 16.0 flat I plan on doing this by stripping my entire interior, removing the spare and jack. Do you think this is possible, thank you.

Either way if you think I can't hit the 16.0. Please, help me with launch RPM.

THANKS.

auto or 5spd??

either way 16.0 flat, you can forget about...most likely you won't break 16.6-16.7 BTW...16.7s stock is lucky(can't stress that enough)...majority won't break 16.9-17.0 even with intake and exhaust brekaing a 16.7 is an achievement

all in all auto VG don't waste your time, you'll struggle to break low 16s...if its a 5spd you'll have a chance at least, still not good though

I agree, if it's auto, I would be REALLY happy to even get 16.9 with it being gutted.

If it's a 5spd, I've seen several run around 16.5s in nice cool conditions. Since it's warming up a little in Florida, I wouldn't expect anything better than a 16.5 even with it being gutted. But I am willing to put my money on that you won't break 16.8 your first time out. I hope you prove me wrong. I just don't want your hopes to be too high and then be mad at yourself for not doing the times you expected.
