I took it the the track twice now. One time it was a cold day for the opening of the track. I ran this with a gutted car. no interior no pass seat and all that.. this is what I ran.

.6978 reaction
1.85 60ft
5.6431 330ft
8.2061 et @ 594ft
8.7790 1/8 et
78.54 1/8 MPH

I only get slips at test and tune, I went again for a midnight madness deal and you dont get slips but they still show the times at the end of the track, this time I had removed the cruise and replaced with non cruise cable, also got the 2g tb elbow and hooked it up.. also removed half the dash, and ALL the air and heater stuff under the dash.. This car is for the track only, phuck it. this night was much warmer then the cold day I ran at test and tune, I ran 9.2's with .7 reactions consistently.. These are my first two times racing an awd, I think i've got the slipping of the clutch down pretty good.. Maybe you all can tell from my slip if there is anything I am doing that I can change.. Also, this is all on a stock 1G AWD Talon with a 14b.. my boost guage shows about 10psi.. I have NO mods other than those small ones stated, the car is running an open downpipe. and thats about it.. Well let me know how I did.. I've only lost once to a heavily modified srt-4 and that hurt, but I did good considering I'm all stock. Any suggestions or anything PLEASE let me know.. Thanks guys
 
Well, you'd be on pace for around a 14.4 or 14.5 run, which is pretty good running stock boost and everything else. Your on the right track. :thumb:
 
I wish I ran that well my first time. With my 91 TSi awd auto running 12psi I ran a 14.1@ 66.78mph 1/8 mile with a 3.2sec 60ft. Needless to say my engine and turbo needed to be replaced (and both have been now). That was at the start of last season with a stock car. Now ill see how my time is with my new engine :)
