so i went to the track last friday and i ran a 14.9 with a 2.26 60' and a 94.xx trap. oh and my car is a 2000 5m. i have jwt intake custom cat-back to apexi n1 muffler ans warpspeed y-pipe. also 17" centerline rpm's only 13lbs each. i was hoping to be faster are these normal times what mods should i buy. thanks in advance.

 

nitrous, blowers.

 

do you have any pics of your car with those rims?

sorry I can't help with mods, I'm not sure what those 2k-2k1 guys recommend

 

you have times for your car? Did you have to change the fuel pump and/or injectors?

 

It appears it's about time you got Blown

 

i was actually going to buy the nx kit but my tranny is starting to grind in second so i want to get that taken care of first. i figured my car would be faster but oh well. and i probably could get pics of the wheels up. my car is black and so are the wheels. and it looks amazimg.

 

remove all the crap in your trunk and take the back seat out

 

Make the car lighter...take out the spare tire, tools, back seat, crap in the glove box, and a 1/5 of a tank of gas!

 

Get a 2k3, that will get you in the low 14's

 

first off whats the elevation of your track....

 

920ft. never thought of that. good call how much does this affect my time

 

didnt touch the fuel system..totally stock..

Times, ive only ran once with a MESSED up start..i zoned off..1.4 r/t and didnt squeeze until late 2nd gear.. i got a 14.2

I wasnt happy

 

that could cost you a 1-2 tenths and .5-1 mph in your traps from a track at sea level. Aaron has ran a 14.8 @ 92 here in NC at a 100ft and 15.1 @ 91 at 1150ft so thats just a little example.

 

that's a great time for a VQ30 5th gen.. Most people are in the low 15's

Some better traction, less weight, and less elevation should get u into the mid 14's

 

udp just got in. installing at work later tonight. then a week from friday i will be back at the track. hopefully with better times.

i just dont understand because all of my traps were 94-95 and my 60' was 2.25-2.3

 

different track, different conditions, different day, different wind, different tires, different track weight, could be a million things.

 

thanks for the imput but i still dont understand how my trap would be 3mph higher with a worse time thanks. but is there anything else i can do.

 

lower your tire pressures, your 60's are not as good as they can be, if you drop your 60' by a tenth you should see maybe two tenths drop off your quarter. Also take some weight out of your car. Spare tire, trunk lining, rear bench. How much gas did you have? try to run with less than 1/4 tank. If you have adjustable shocks, put the rears on full stiffness.
