Am at the drag strip now. Started running at 14.9, bunch of 14.8s, couple 15.0s. Then I decided to learn to drive an went to a 14.826, 14.785, then a 14.55, a pair of 14.6s. And I've called it a day before elminations. My power is dropping right around 5500 rpm....it needs a tune and the new exhaust!!!!!!

i bet most of that is those manifolds, it'll feel like a whole new car with the 3500 manifolds on it.

nice times though, you should be able to get into the 13's with the new exhaust and tune.

OH yeah did I mention I was running 20" slicks on my 14.6 and under runs? LOL.

I ran my best on street tires with a 14.785

I got in about 15 runs today before bracket racing started...I didn't want to race in it, the car needed a rest.

i tried dumping the clutch at 4K but just spun the slicks too, holding at 2500 and easing into it seems to work best for me.. i usually get 1.9's on slicks.

nice the mph shows you should be able to get past mid 14's but im sure a tune and exhaust will do even better.

you'd be surprised at how much you can pick up in the 1/4 by working on how fast you shift.. I always thought i was shifting fast enough till i rode with Moon.. i thought he was going to rip the shifter off the floor.

I went from a 13.7 to a 13.08 after the mods to the shifter assembly and developing a total disregard for my shift cables.
