So I made it back out the strip. I guess it was ok but I wanted 13's so bad. I ate a chili dog before I made this run and I think it cost me. Here are my numbers:
60' = 2.002
330 = 5.810
1/8 = 8.966
mph = 79.61
1000 = 11.700
1/4 = 14.006
mph = 97.82

I was so close. Maybe if I would have taken out the kids seat? That sucks! Owell. Guess I cant really complain. Just thought I would share my slip.

I ran 13.9 with the same setup you are running. Your 60' launch is the key. You have go to get it down to 1.8s. Go with 305 x 18 DRs on 10" wheels and you will get there easily. Also, take out the left headlight asembly, pump the front tires to 50 psi and 18 psi in the DRs. What was your weight - dump the spare tire and EVERYTHING in the trunk and car - including floor mats, trunk organizer, glove box and console and W/S fuild. Run less then 1/4 tank. You should be under 4,130# w/o driver.

PS - if you folded the side mirrors in you would have broke 14s.

I know what you mean about the weight. I had a full tank, lids seat, stroller, full size spare and other crap too. I was running stock tires too. Plus I ate a chili dog right before and I think that may have been the culprit. LOL

I had your set up + KDW 2 / UD Pullies & Cobra Exhaust ran 13.7. Others w/ a similar set up ran 13.5.

This is in cool weather.

Man I wonder what I would of ran the 1st time I hit the track. I had a full tank of gas, donut spare and whatever else was in my trunk. Ran a 14.62 @ 95.51mph basically stock with driver headlamp out, k&n drop in filter, h-pipe back exhaust delete and stock rears @ 28psi. Now I'm dying to know what I can run with my current mods.
