New Personal Best: 14.7!

I had a pretty good time at etown tonight. Got 4 runs in and I was an hour late. 15.178, ((((14.762)))), 14.8xx, and 14.893. Here's my best run:

.321
2.283
6.262
9.537
75.11
12.357
14.762
93.31

Temp: 58
Relative Humidity: 48


Same setup as before: frankencar intake, budget ypipe, stock gxe 15" steelies/tires(26psi front), 1/2 tank of gas, removed spare, jack, and tools.

Only thing I did differently this time was I removed my back seats, passenger seat and fstb. I ran a 14.842 with all that stuff in the car.

yea I don't think it's possible with my ****ty tires. I need some tires with TREAD on them better yet some slicks.

I'm still happy with my 14.7 tho.
