My friends talked me into making one last trip to the track today{updated(15.3@87)}

Well I just got back into the country less than 48 hours ago and I have been persuaded to run at the track today. I'm not expecting anything great though. I haven't driven in the last 4 months so I may be a little rusty. Plus last time I ran it was 50deg, today it's gonna be in the 80's . I will post results later this evening. Wish me luck.

Get a video of you running below a 15.5 and a trap of 88-90 I'll believe that 15.1 for sure.

Well I wasn't epecting anything great due the 30degree temp difference from the last time I ran and the fact that I haven't driven the car in over 4 months, but I did alright. Also I was running a half tank of gas, last time I was at a 1/4. Oh the V2 intake sucks!! Especially in 80 degree weather.
Ok enough excuses.

15.3@87 with 2.084 60ft best on DR's at 15psi (15.4's all day, too bad no one showed up for the bracket class)

15.6@86 with 2.189 60ft on 17's with NeoGens at 22psi

Scansel I may be able to get a video of me running a 15.5 against my friends SRT-4. I know he had his dad filming his runs and ended up next to him a couple times. But for now all I have are some pics and slips. Oh and the dates are still ****ed up. If I decide to keep the car, which I have been thinking about someday I will drive my *** to the other track so I can get some slips with the right freaking dates printed on them.

fricking ridiculous 60 times... you need to get a video of in cabin looking at the gauges when you launch. I wish my track was back open so I can work on launching with NAWZZ That 2.7 is embarrassing..

If my 14 year old sister is driving.


With good drivers,
2002-2004... 14.9-15.2 , depending on weather and launch.
2005 ... 14.7-15.0

ditch the WOT microswitch and go to a pushbutton system...or progamable...that way you're not just sittin' there spinnin'

p.s. you guys make me wanna go out to the track. (never been but it's gonna happen sometime this summer) see what my little ex will do with just intake/exhaust. i'd hope for sub 16 passes.

Redline04 welcome back. Still some good times for a big temp diff and not driving the vic for awhile. I'm pulling for you to get 14.9 before going with nitrous.

Thanks man. Yeah I am so tempted to order the NX kit right now for this friday. But I don't want to give people the wrong idea(those that think I'm already running N20) in case I run some good times NA. Plus I wanna sell my 17's first to help pay for the N20. I'm trying a new tire setup so we'll see what happens. Also going to a better track at night. It will be a bit cooler than last Sunday but not in the 50's like it was whe I ran my best. So don't know what to expect. Just hope the track prep is good.
