Really? Is that my 60 ft's holding me back or something?
I was looking at other 1/4 mile times online and I noticed my trap speed was higher but the 1/4 was the same!

First run was 15.86 and the second run was 15.96...i actually wrote that it looked like i fell asleep in description of that video lol. I was definitely nervous. Next year I intend on doing a mild build and placing in the top 10 for 3400s :D

Im beginning to see that lol. It was recorded using my Iphone 4. I really like 720p quality on this phone. My buddy got some 1080p video of my car as well so I might upload that too.

Sounds about right, I think the best I ran n/a was 15.6x with cat back and CAI.

Next year I intend on doing a mild build and placing in the top 10 for 3400s :D

Shouldn't be hard.

headers, full exhaust, tb, and ported intakes should get you in the 15.2-15.5 range

My first goal would be 200whp...kinda annoying how the 3400 makes 170 to the crank, but I still rather have a 3400 over the 2.2 and 2.4. Not dissing any of the guys with 4 bangers...just my preference.

Sorry man I gotta save my cash for next year's mods. I wanted to go to the track so I have a reference of where I stand. Next year I'll probably start going more once I start modding. Reaction was .7828 seconds, 60 ft was 2.3...1/8 was 10.24 and quarter was 15.87 seconds @ 86.00 MPH. Thanks for the invite though...When I go in Spring 2012, you'll be the first to know :)
