did you torque brake? how about manually shifting (not sure if that makes a difference). also, try going with 1/4 tank or less, and reducing the pressure in your front tires.

also, do you have the stock GXE rims? (thats a good thing for the track)

how were the track conditions??? that can play a big role... especially in this d*mn summer heat. my auto ran a 15.6 stock, so if i were you i would just try to take it on a better day. and if u didnt break torque do so. you have to find what racing style suites you the best (ie. break torque, shifting with ur auto, using o/d) play with your car a bit

My Auto ran a 16.6 before the MEVI, and a 16.2 with it.

Of course, I had my speakerbox/amps in the trunk, and my 18" TSW's on.

Spare was removed.

Try this...

Reset the ECU if you haven't yet and try that.

yeah i brake torqued and also tried manually shifting but that didnt work to well cause i thought i was in second and was in drive so when i went to put it in drive... so i thought i hit neutral. oh yeah the temps were around 80. and had stock gxe wheels with the hubs on it. tire pressure was 32 all the way around.

thanks for the info though and please keep sended it. i swear the org is the best!!!

With a CAI and y-pipe, without N20, and being an auto, I got a best time of 15.81 at like 88 mph. But again, that is my car. Every car is different.....
