woohoo!! best time ever!
well i went to the drags today, and i posted the best time i have ever run, which i guess isn't all that great still, but it's great for me! here's the numbers:
reaction: .147
60': 2.157
1/8: 9.578
1/8 MPH:71.959
E.T.: 14.978
MPH: 91.874
i was using my slicks for the first time, and let me tell you these things grip like nothing else! i was holding the rpm's at 5 thousand, and side stepping the clutch, and that thing would just tear out of the hole. i was hoping for a better 60' time, but i'll take my very first 14 second time with no complaints.

man why do you have to rain on my parade?
so what should i be running? i have no ks code, and i am launching pretty damn high already.(5 thousand). ive got the b & m short shifter. what else should i do?

2.15 60' launching at 5k??? Either you are roasting clutch off the line or something is off with your car. Plenty of 4th gen 5 spds have pulled 2.1 60's on street tires launching at 2-3k. Only other thing I can think of is practice driving or the elevation of your track is 3000+

stillen intake and y-pipe, UDP, aftermarket muffler.
that's it.
im fairly certain my clutch was not slipping. i was taking off like crazy!
i have no idea why my 60' was so low. maybe i'm just not very fast at doing stuff.

well yeah, i started out at about 3 grand, then 3.5, then 4, 4.5 and eventually 5 thousand. i didn't just jump right in, i got my feet wet first.
