I'm a little upset in the results I got... I'll have to scan the time slips in tomorrow or something for you guys..
I seriously need to work on my launching.. and tire pressure per temperature and track conditions..
And I think change those rims off my car..weighing me down or something..
I shifted great.. I may have spun a little too much off the line..
But of the two runs I got in.. 15.063 @ 94.93 and 15.014 @ 95.98.

OK.. as I was typing this I decided to take a digi pic of the slips and attach...
I was running against my friend's ITR (nick248). I was really hoping to break 15.. Shouldnt my car do this? I was a little lazy and left the spare tire in, and didn't bother to put the octance boost in.. but still.. I thought I could have gotten there. I had 30lbs in the front tires, and 37 in the rear.
Oh well.. one more mod and back to the track I go!

Definitely work on your launching. Get your 60' times a bit lower and you'll see 14's in no time.

15 flat is great for the 60 ft times you have. A little more clutch work and you are in the high 14's.

Drop your tire pressure to about 22-25psi and that should get your 60's to about 2.3-2.2. Take .1 of the 60' will translate to .2 faster on the other end of the track. Your making real good power because your MPH is really high. When I was running 14.5-14.3 with my '95 my mph was 95-96 so your on the right track...need to get that power to the ground. Practice sliding the clutch. Need drag tires? I have a set for sale...check my footer.

Re: thanks guys..

Do they have street night on Friday too? My buddy with the 1.8T Golf wants to race me. Wednesday is not too convenient for us.

Yes...you have the trap speed to run mid 14's with traction.

As for your muffler, why don't you keep it off so you can represent your true ricey self, and have the fart fart to go along with it.
