good run man. with a bit more practice you should be able to shave some time off still. definitley experiment with tire pressures and shift points.

Good job, but your trap speed is really low to me. I used to trap 93-94 with just a catback. That was with a 2.3 sixty foot and the D.A. was around 2900 the whole night.

yeah, unless the intercooler he had on there was fake, but i wouldn't doubt it being fake, his hood wasn't cf, it was just painted black

I was wondering about that, a 15.3 usually traps in the low 90s. Let off after the second timing light after the finish line.

Man....for some reasons i get horrible times in my 4th gen at orlando speed world. I think there timing equipment is not accurate and there drag pavement sucks... last time I went i could barely get my car off the line and it was stock!

I think they do a cheap job on the prep... but you can't blame them because the ricers do blow up alot...

ive never been down the track myself, always watched from the sidelines. so i hope with some practice and what im doing to my car, i can be in the low 13s. maybe high 12s with good tires..good run though.
