i went to the track tonight and ran my car for the first time. the best i could get was a 9.98 with a 2.34 60ft. time. i had to replace my clutch about a month ago but unfortunately due to lack of funds, i had to go back with a stock clutch. my car feels like the clutch is slipping already in third gear. it just may be me though i dont know. i dont smell clutch so maybe its me. by the way i am running about 17psi on the stock 14b. that may have a lot to do with it to. will you guys let me know if this is a good time for almost a stock fwd turbo. oh, and its the 1/8th mile in case you havent already guessed. let me know what you guys think.
 
Just for reference, I ran 9.446 @ 75.70 which turned into a 14.608 @ 94, 2.305 60ft, with free mods and 15lbs.

Also, ran a 9.331 @ 78.3 equaled 14.325 @ 97.02, 2.319 60ft, free mods + 15lbs, turboback exhaust.

With that 1/8 time, you're looking at low to mid 15s. Looking at your mods, which are very similar to mine, you should definitely be running better, especially with a 2.3 60ft. What was your trap speed?
