Houston,

For one day in Houston the sun came out and it finally stopped raining. So I decided to head to the track yesterday and try to break into the 12's. My best time before was 13 flat but with a 0-60 ft time of 1.8. So I knew I could do better. My first two runs were sorry, I pulled a 13.6 and a 13.4. Both were against a Jeep Cherokee 4x4 that ran a 17.8. I think he really wanted to beat me off the line cuz he red lighted both times. 
My next two runs got better. I raced my neigbors hatch. He just swapped a b20 in and he wanted to test it out. I ran a 13.3 and he ran 15.0. The next run I ran 13.1 and he ran 14.9. Something is seriously wrong with his car because with his b18 he was running 14.5. Finally I got the runs I wanted. I ran the next two runs by myself. I ran another 13.0 and then I hit 12.9@104. I have reached my goal. This is good considering my mods.
I am still on the stock 14b, stock exhuast manifold, and stock O2 housing. No porting at all. I have a 2.5 inch BR downpipe with a crappy press-bent 2.5 inch cat-back with an Ebay "high-flow" cat.
The fuel system is totally stock. Stock injectors, stock fuel pump and it is not even rewired. I have a MAFT with the dejon tool blow thru set up and a front-mount intercooler with custom pipes. Drivetrain I have a short-shifter and an Ebay clutch that has a 2100 pound pressure plate and it has a disc with brass contacts. It says it is supposed to clamp harder the hotter it gets. It works too because I saw that when I made consecutive passes without letting the car cool I got better times. When I let it cool down my times went up. Thats about it. O yeah I have a MBC that was set to 18 PSi and I was running race gas. Plus I took out the seats. I'm happy with that. :thumb
