well I finally made it to the track on friday night. wasnt happy, thought it should run atleast 13's. Anyways, I managed to get a
60'- 2.078
1/4- 14.163
mph- 96.44
Is this what I can expect with the mods I have listed in my sig? Please let me know. Thanks.

I went 14.20 without a converter so I think you might be able to go a bit better. I bet if you leave just right you will get a high 13. My car had (and still has ) stock exhaust. I bought the delete tips but never got around to putting them on.

What was the temperature outside? I'd say for what you've got a 14.1 is pretty darn good.
I ran a best 14.4 at MVII (prior to supercharging) in Indy with DR exhaust and premium gas tune, magnaflows, PI 3k, 4:10's, UDPs and OEM tires. It was mid-80's and humid IIRC.

A low 14 is better than a poke in the eye:D

Humidity is a bigger factor than heat.
With a stock exhaust, thats a really good time.

I ran a 14.62 @ 95.51 with only a k&n drop-in filter, removed driver headlamp, oem rear tires at 28psi and rear exhaust delete from h-pipe back with side pipes. Work on your launching, that was the key for me to get from 14.9's to 14.6's.

I'm running factory T/C and exhaust. With Lidio's 100 Octain tune and Nitto 305 Drag Radials My last 2 runs were 14.098 & 14.096. My 60 ft was about he same as yours.

That it was. Linda's car ran a 15.45 that day. The only mads she has done since then are the 4.10s, Flowmasters and JTL and she is running 14.5XX

Do you have a tune?? Your Sig it doesnt say,
Its hot and humid outside, even with the 3k TC installed when its hot out, It takes a lot to break traction. 14.1's is a respectable timeslip, When it gets down into the 50 and 60 degree weather, come october you'll probably pull 13 second time slips easily.
I have close to the same mods so Ill probably be running the same as you. I have a dyno appointment next saturday to tune my new Throttle body and intake tube, I hope to be in the 300 club.

In my book you're right there.
I ran a 14.37 as my best time as I am now.:D
My 60's were bad.... real bad.... really really bad.... I gotta work on my 60's.

14.1x is a very good ET for your mods. Your 60 foot can get better, and this may give you the edge you need for 13s. Experiment with tire PSI and launch RPM, you should be able to bring it down. My last time out, I got 1.8x out of Pirelli street tires, so, it can be done. Practice, practice, practice...

I have a tune. But I dont think its cuttin it for me. in second and third I can feel it bogging. I know there is more there but not with the tune I am running. My new shift/t.c schedule seems to be pretty good but I guess I will have to find someplace to work the bugs out. I did start off runnin 14.5's and was not happy at all. As for the launching I am not getting any tire spin at all with the stockers. I was bringing the stall up and then just floorin it off the line. But the one that was workin the best for me was not bring the stall up but just punching it off the line. I wasnt getting any tire spin at all the stock tires were hookin pretty damn good. I was impressed. I did eat up an evo pretty bad though.

Evo is a mid 13 second car, If you are eating him up then its the heat and humidity thats making the car weak and sluggish. I posted about that a week ago how with the heat my car feels slow, Last night it was a pretty cool night and my car felt like a rocket.
Come September or October when it cools down Im prety sure we'll be reading how you pulled a 13 second time slip even with spinning tires.

I bet you are right. Dont want those months to come yet though. It just means winter is getting closer.

With the mods I have listed below...my best to date is a 14.26 with a 60' of 2.05. I think we are both right on... The exhaust is stock but stainless is coming.

I ran a 14.89 on only a drop in panel filter, lidio's tune and 25 psi in the back tires. It wasn't a comfortable day either at ATCO.

I think 14.1 on your mods is good, it is very difficult to make comparisons between cars; even when you mod your own car sometimes the results don't make any sense.
My car ran it's fastest recorded N/A time on a PCM flash and nothing else, I added what I thought were significant mods that I know made the car much stronger from a dead stop and yet....never ever beat my best time prior to the mods.

Humidity and temp can make .75 sec difference.

Yeah I can believe that, when its hot and humid, Its like I never installed the convertor
