I took my first run in my 02 Max 6 speed last week. I ran a 15.9 with about 60' of burn out off the start. I warmed up the tires for about 2 seconds. Should I be burning out longer to get better traction? I'm really wanting to hit low 15s or maybe break 15 by next week and I need some tips. I only got one run last week because I worked late and got to the track late. My car is all stock, but I pulled the air filter for my run. Will an intake really help out? Is there any cold air intakes for the 02's? Anything would be great.

Should I be expecting 14 seconds stock?

Thanks
Luke

 

theres a few 6spds on here hitting mid/low 14's...even the autos are low 15's/high 14's...you probably just need more practice...keep trying!!! I know Frankencar makes intakes for 4th and 5th gens(00-02).

 

what was your 60 ft time? i guarantee it was really high. you really don't want to do burnouts on street tires. there's no need to. just avoid the water box and roll up to the line...

 

but then you can't be cool and burnout

but yeah the waterbox is the devil
