I must say ricing is more science and having the right temperature than it is having a fast car. Got about 8-10 run and no matter how hard I ran she didn't break the previous 14.2 @ 100.2mph. I had expectations but it wasn't high. Even though I had a younger engine, Exedy OE clutch and NWP 5pc spacers I didn't have the temperature I had when I ran the 14.2

I had some really good runs and i'm happy with what i'm running, I just have to improve on my reaction time, launch and 60'. Ran 3 races against a camry and couldn't beat him even though our speed was almost evenly matched. Here's a few videos and comments and advice are welcome

at least you didnt blow the motor

 

LOL. I know. But it's part of the game man. You can't be a racer and not break anything, part of being rookie...

 

 

Have you tried lowering the front tire's air pressure? Or tried lightening up the car?

 

Yeah I did. Adjusted it to 18psi from 23psi. Took out all the mats, spare tire and jack and the trunk mat. I can't take out the rear seat because it's the presidential seats with the center console so i'm not going to take hrs to remove it to gain a few tenths of a second.

Next time will be different. Trust me
