Took the talon out to the fun run racing out at Alderman's 1/8 mile airport in St. Clairsville, Ohio. Had some fun too and met some cool people with GVR4's and 1st gens. Anyways, my first run was against a VW 1.8T with a chip and exhaust and intake. He toasted his clutch. This was also my best of the 2 runs I made. Also I feathered the clutch out at maybe 5000 for each run.

R/T 1.202 I know I know, But I keep lookin over at the other person and then look back and the lights green.
60 ft 2.097 I dont think its that bad for my first launch ever
1/8 ET 9.225
1/8 mph 70.03

In my second run I got a 1.5 R/T and totally got cooked off the line but I still ran a 9.6 flat. Ill post the vids hopefully tomorrow. Anyone have a guess at what these would be in a 1/4 mile? Im guessing hopefully high 13s/low 14s. Also, boost was at 14 psi until pump is ordered this weekend.

Mods : K&N and removed air can, joe p mbc@14 psi( damn boost creep), autometer 30-0-30 boost gauge, Apexi TT, 2.5"/3" cat eliminator downpipe, 2.5" catback w/magnaflow muffler, datalogger, symborski shifter kit, BG Syncroshift

Reaction needs work. Looks like you feel a sleep at the light.

2.0 60 ft. = bog at the line. Practice makes perfect here, once you figure out the launch technique.

9.2 1/8 mile usually means 14.4 - 14.8 1/4 mile times. The high 13s/low 14s 1/8 mile is usually around 8.9 - 9.0.

Good Luck!:thumb:
 
You definately need help on that 60ft. My stock clutch withholds 1.7s. Get over the 60ft mark with anything under a 1.9 and you'll be in the 8s. My 14B took me to 8.7s and a 14.0 in the 1/4 with almost nothing done.
 
Your probably in the mid to high 14's, on my slip I have :

reaction: .604
60 ft : 1.889
330 ft: 5.734
1/8 ET: 8.994
1/8 MPH: 77.14
1/4 ET: 14.098
1/4 MPH: 95.23
