isnt my car to slow?? (VIDEO)

something is definately wrong. Love the way your max sounds ... but 0-60 on our cars is rated under 7 seconds with a 5Spd. From the moment the video starts, you are already moving, but you don't cross 60 until after 8 seconds. Either someone help me with my math, or something is wrong. No check engine light and bad performance usually points to a bad knock sensor.
EDIT: nevermind ... I was watching your TACH. You were just reving up ... thought you were burning rubber. No nothing is wrong. You pass 0-60 in under 7 seconds if you watch it 500 times like I did.

one question, according to one of the stickies ive read if I cut the pink wire with the blue line on the ecu my car can go 140+. Now the question is when I do this the check engine light should come on, how do I make the the car go over 110 without having the check engine on?

That's easy. Goto radio shack and buy a toggle switch ... shouldn't cost you more then you can find in change outside of the store. Simply splice the wire, place the toggle switch in a hiddle place, and run each end of the cut wire to it. ONLY when you want to go over 110 should you hit the switch and no CEL. Enjoy.

I suppose it seems about right, the time kind of throws it off a little because you rev it for a few seconds before you take off, so if you watch the time and the speed, it seems slow... Something seems wrong with the shifting though.

Not to be offensive man, but it's time to learn how to drive stick more efficiently, or better for your car. That's a brand new clutch (or I would hope it is with a five speed conversion anyways) the reason why your shifts are slipping is because of the driver. And do you really need to launch at over 3k? Download and study those "how to drive a manual transmission" videos, where the M5 guy goes through better shifting/downshifting techniques. This is how I learned to drive aggressivley, but easy on my car as well. Just a suggestion, and it doesn't look that slow.

Looks fine, you need to learn to shift faster, your clutch (like mine) won't grab very well so there isn't much need to powershift. Learn proper shift points (redline 1-2, ~6100 2-3, ~6000 3-4, I think like 5800 4-5) Sounds like you just have an intake to me....

so if i learn how to shift faster that should help with acceleration??

Actually, if you only start timing when the speedometer starts to move you get 0-60 in 6.3-6.6 sec. Add about 1-2 tenths for the time it takes to spin the tires at launch and hook up and it's about 6.4-6.8 which is about right for a 4th gen 5 spd.
But yeah, you're shifts are SLOW. Easily a couple tenths in there!
And wear your seat belt dumba$$
