Well I finally got it to the track, not bad, I am very pleased for my first runs ever with awd. This is with just a 2.5" apexi dp, 3" Vibrant high-flow CAT, 3" cat-back apexi n1, k&n filter, and a mbc with the boost turned up to 14psi. Everything else on my car is stock. I am very pleased with these results and can't wait to do more work. Here are the slips, in order first run on left last run on right

maybe i need to go to a 1/4 mile track because when i ran the 1/8th, i had about the same mods as you, ran a 9.4 and i was kinda pissed. but really that's about mid 14s which isn't too bad at all.

now you just gotta try to get those 60s below 2!!!
 
Get those 60fters down and you should net much better runs. When i had the t25, crappy boost as it would always tapper down to 11psi by 6400rpm, but went 14.0 @ 95 with a 1.79 60ft.

But, not bad for a first timer. My first time ever down the dragstrip was horrible(much worse times than yours). Some practice netted me a whole second off my ET.
 
Thanks guys, this was only my first time at the track with this car. I've went before with my 99 GS-T i had back in the day and went also with my 06 Eclipse that i recently had. Going again this Wednesday to see if i can hit high 13's hopefully.
 
Hey nice runs! Its definitely a trial and error process, looks like you can drive the car well, now just work on the launch's and 1-2 shifts!

You can easily move that 60' down to like a 1.7-1.8 no problem...Remember, basically every .1 you knock off the 60' time will relate to about ~.2 seconds off your overall ET...No joke! That 14.2 can easily become a high 13 with a spectacular launch...

My first time at the track, I went with a fmic, 560's, full 3", 14b, safc, 3" intake, mbc @ 20psi and my best was only a 13.5, my 60's were very similar to you....It takes a while to get to know your car and what kind of abuse it can handle....I later went with an EvoIII, more tuning and more skill and was able to bust out 1.7 60's to to the tune of 12 second runs consistently...All on a stock clutch ~
 
yeah really, agreeing with a previous post, my first runs were HORRIBLE!! My first time at the track I did two runs, both running 16 in the 1/4. LOL I felt sooooo pissed off. But I had no practice, and I even had lower 60' than you!! So yeah nice job, and get those 60'ers down and you'll be doing nice with only those mods!!!

My 3rd gen Eclipse Gs ran a 9.5 in the 1/8 with 190 hp and 200 tq. So I'd say there is room for improvement. I still haven't had my car to the track so good job and after you run it more you'll learn the best way to launch it ect. My 3g i was running like 10's and then one time i launched it perfect and bam 9.5
