k so im goin to the local drag strip where im at and i have never been...just wondering what i could look forward too with the mods i have.
mods worth mentioning: mid pipe catless, downpipe catless, boost at 8-9psi, custom SMIC, hardpipes.

im hoping to be in the 14s somewhere...my driving skill in my opinion is medium ive had my fair share of those moments where you run out of talent..but im no slouch...

any comments on how to get better starts or any advice il take it.
 
i was thinkin about it...ive got the fronts and im thinkin about gettin the engine dampner from weapon R...
 
With almost the same mods cept i had a FMIC instead of a SMIC at 8.5 lbs of boost i ran a 14.2 @ 98
 
wonder what the diff between the fmic and smic would be...woulda been a good heads up race i think(drinks)

im just hopin for 14.5-15...if im slower than that then i suck at life

its on the 18th so i wont know til then...
 
il for sure post when i get it. hey cer cyclops how much of a difference does the AFC make?
 
I have the same mods except I have an FMIC and all solid mounts. On crappy all seasons I ran a 14.34 at 100mph. But that was with boost spiking to 11psi on my Turbo XS mbc.
 
the AFC made a Huge difference, just cause it made everything smooth, with the mods i have it pulls smooth all the way to red line, the first time my brother tode in my car with the FMIC he was like wow man the power is so smooth.
 
is it a NHRA track? that makes a difference...
in Gainesville Fl... it has the Gainesville raceway for the NHRA guys... its also only have concrete launch pad, where as in Cecil, Ga was all concrete and is faster... NHRA slope up a little bit towards the end somewhat.. this was based off a stock RSX S...

Cecil Time: 14.6 consistent with stock straight from the dealership
Gainesvile Time : 14.9 consistent wit better tires, CAI and CBE

wtf... expereinced driver so it wasnt the drivers fault...
 
12s? haha your funny. i dont have the money to risk boostin(zoom-zoom-boom) high enough to run 12s.

and i dont think its an NHRA track...its a stadium parking lot transformed into a drag strip....and i also just found out its a 1/8th mile how bad for me damn it(gtfo)
