BTW theblue has not run better than 14.5 this year, and he's even using drag radials. I think its safe to say that his 14.28 was a once in a lifetime run. Its certainly not happening consistently.

Isnt papasmurf's car totally gutted with no AC or dash or anything? I bet I could shave 300 pounds off my car if I lost EVERYTHING.

As for everybody else including Aaron, I bet we're not running great times because its almost summer over here. Not like when it was 30 degrees out and theres plenty of dense air to accelerate with.

I haven't been to the track. I used a G-Tech and I am embarrassed to say. I got a 14.7. I used to be 15.8. But that was with a stock pulley and catback only. But something is wrong with my car (or G-tech). I got a trap speed of 100.1 wich just doesn't make sense. That's a trap speed of a 13 s car. So something is wrong. But since that run, I have upgraded the trans., added a VB mod, raised the TQ stall speed 200 rpms, added a Y-pipe and a CS cat. But I still feel like something is wrong. I used to always peel out a little when I launched from zero when I was NA, and now I don't. She certainly needs some work,...

Yes, gutted to the max with and on slicks. I have yet to see a timeslip though. His cardomain page says he has a turbo, so who knows what's true and what's a fantasy.
