I had my first run at the track last night with all my modifications and I have to say I am disapointed. Lately the car has been running like poo. When I first put everything in the car and tuned it with the datalogger it was running like a champ. Beat alot of fast cars, now when I floor it it just feels like it isn't pulling any more. Sometimes when I floor the car and it downshifts, it revs up to like 6000 rpms before the tranny grabs. I logged it at the track and it is tunned perfectly. The only thing I think can be stopping me is the tranny. I ordered new end clutchs and a shift kit. Hopefully that fixes it. Anyways here is my time.

14.788@92mph with a 1.98 60ft.
 
dam you scaring me man, I have an automatic also and almost the same exact mod as you except for a b16g and front wheel drive, I might be too scared to run in fear of 15's......my auto does the same thing revs to really high rpm before it grabs and goes to second gear hopefully like you an end clutch, shift kit and high stall torque converter might help me as well.....
 
Alto end clutch and Translab shift kits will help you a lot. Trust me, especially you have GSX not GST like me :( .

Did you install after market ATF cooler? I recommend you to upgrade it if you go to track a lot. And I also recommend you to flush the ATF, not only change it. You can do it at dealer and also change the ATF filter.

Good luck.
