tell me what you think.
 
The third run I dropped the air psi to 25psi My first runs a couple of weeks ago I was 14.7xx
 
25 psi??? what. so according to your mods you have no engine management and stock injectors and you're running 25 psi?? Or do you have mods not listed.

25psi in the tires. not from boost that was at 15 psi of boost. god I would hope that I would run better than 14's on 25psi.
 
Good job man. Improvement is always good and it is nice to see you working on your driving technique and checking the cars performance as you modify it bit by bit.

I'm sure that once you get all the parts you want and get them tuned up you will run some times that will be pretty impressive.

hahaha i didn't even think of that. well played. well for a mostly stock car looks like some good times im sure with some fuel and such you could dip nicely into the 13s and with a solid tune high 12s. keep it up!
 
Those are some pretty good times! I'd focus on the 60-ft. You should probably be able to squeak out a 1.8x. But a 1.9 isn't bad.

A lot of people go looking for quick ET's by throwing parts on the car, but the biggest upgrade you can do for faster ET's is just improving the driving. It takes some practice but it looks like you're already improving quite a bit. I take it the clutch wasn't slipping this time?

Yeah a bit but not as bad. I adjusted it right before the 3rd run and it slipped real bad in 4th gear and on the way home but not tonight.

I would let the car sit for about 30 mins between runs.

I could totally feel the diff from the 1.9 60' and the 2.xx I knew then if i didnt miss a gear that would be a good run.
