not too dissapointed considering it my first time out to the track with my car....
was hoping to be in the 13's...but I'll get the traction thing down.
my best run of the night was my worst reaction time. 1.21

2.26 60'

I'm thinkin next time I go out I can get it into the 13's no problem with a little tweaking and little more traction practice....

is a mid to high 13.....good for being on stock fuel/stock intercooler/stock t25???

what are some times other guys have ran with the stock turbo system (fuel and all)???

Also keep in mind I'm FWD
 
so if 13's are good on a t-25...then if I get it into the mid 13's FWD on a t-25 that will actually be a pretty damn good timeslip???

mid 13's on a fwd t25 would be VERY impressive :) But I wouldnt count on it :p
 
well that's my goal for next time out....

if I get better traction...and reaction time

with a few other little tweaks and adjustments.

I think it is very possible for my car to run in the mid 13's

I'm not saying its impossible :) But it is going to be hard :)

Reaction time has no effect on your E.T. though.

You can probably get a full tenth off your 60' which should work out to ~.2-.3 off your total E.T. if all goes well :)

A quick scan through dsmtimes.org for fwd guys shows 2 guys in the 13's with the t-25, but one of them appears to be running slicks, so that leaves one guy! :D And he BARELY squeaked in there!

13.992 99.88 9.063 81.11 2.237 95 Eclipse GST T25 NO Karl Schanz

Make it two!
 
well....according to the way my night went. And the potential I KNOW my car has...it's be in the 13's definitely next time.

this 14.3 I ran I was driving shitty...smokin the tires....and I got a little boost happy and had it turned up a tad bit too much.

witha few tweaks and some traction...maybe a junkyard part or two....mid 13's are comin.
 
Im lookin forward to seeing you run next weekend. Hopefully you turn 13's! That would be bad A$$!!
Hopefully i will fun atleast low 14's instead of mid if i can fix all my boost leaks and get me a lil race gas :D
 
I KNOW i'll break the 13's next time...on my best run I got no traction in first gear, decent traction in second and then half way down the track I had a pulled timing problem due to trying to run too much boost/heatsoak intercooler. Got the intercooler problem fixed with my water sprayer running winshield washer nozzles...and as far as traction I went over to the local mall and practiced a few launches on their slick azz parking lot and I'm getting the hang of it. plus if I richen it up a bit using the MAS screw and run a better mix of AVgas (last time wasa quarter tank of 93octane and half tank of 100ll AV gas with marvel mystery oil to keep my valves lubed since avgas will dry them up). Next time I'm running straight 110octane racegass.

I WILL break the 13's
13.5 lower...possibly with a couple other little tweaks I'm checking on.

Maybe I'll be the first stock T-25/injectors/sidemount to do it.......
