yeah if anyone wants to update mine to a 15 flat stock that would be cool, unless you want to count the motor mount as a mod which many dont who do have it. I'm previously at a 15.4 stock.

Does a motor mount really lower your times that much, or did you just drive better.
 
Probably both, I know I went twice before the front motor mount was in and always got wheel hop and my best I could do was a 15.4 and I was very inconsistant. With the front one in virtually all wheel hop is gone which does help out your time depending on how you drive, it's still up to you it just helps. I went back twice after getting it on and at least I'm consistant now pretty much always low 15's now, I'm starting to average 15.2 a lot. That's if I just dump the clutch if I feather it out I get a lot better times, that's how I got the 15. I'm planning on heading back this wednesday to see if I can hit 14's that'd be great dunno if I can though. I'm sure I could if I let some of the air out of my tires, I haven't been doing that, just keeping it at what it supposed to be, but this will be the last time going to the track...well stock anyway ha, intake goes on that weekend.

Don't drop the pressure on your tires, you will actually slow down a couple of tenths.
 
managed to get 14.4 today even with fuel cut

Custom FMIC / SRI, 10psi average (peaks at 12), M/T Slicks

I don't have the time slip with me ... but i remember doing a 1.94 60' and ended up with a 14.4. ill get 1/8 and trap speeds later

Good day at the track ... but I got a CEL now lol
 
damn.....a 1.94 60'.........I'd give my left nut for one of those. Well maybe not....

You'll have to sell the other nut to buy a new clutch :)
 
i would need a new clutch soon if i would be doing this all the time

my clutch slips in 1st gear (no dah). I launch at 5000rpm, no riding the clutch ... just dump it. God damn it pulls ... i love it. Starts accelerating, RPM jumps to 6500rpm then goes back to 5500 and keeps accelerating normally

slips in 2nd gear too lol. My boost peaks at like 15psi in 2nd gear, its scary how much it pulls once it reaches that. I can't wait to get my pistons/rods and get rid of the fuel cut and start enjoying 15psi daily hehe
 
15psi, 1.94 60ft., fmic, and your only running 14.4????? I run 14.0's with stock tires and 11psi.
 
peaks at 15psi, but stays there for not even half a second. Peaks at 15 then goes down to 10

and i hit fuel cut about 5 or 6 times per run ... i guess i could do a few tenths better if i didnt hit fuel cut all the time. This was my 1st time with all those mods .. i picked up my car from the garage saturday afternoon. ill fix my AVC-R and see what i can do next time =)

There was a guy there doing 14.1 to 14.3 with CAI 11psi no cats with P5 mags+tires (dunlop sport5000). I had better 60' and 1/8 than him, but he would win about 0.4 on me in the last half of the run

you're on stock exhaust right? he's got top end on you, as your turbo starts to choke in the higher gears. get a cutout!!
 
Not my best, but still quite impressive if I do say so myself..

13.44 @ 104.8 ......2.14 60'......10psi.
 
ran a 14.3 @ 98 this weekend. really cold night ... even with the slicks i couldnt do better than a 2.1 60'

FMIC, SRI, 10psi, FCD, MT slicks
