So I went to the track last friday for the first time ever. I bought my car back in September of '09 and didn't race it until the friday I went to the track so I was learning on the go. My best time was a 9.0 @ 77 with 2.1 60' at the local 1/8 mile. It was 50 degrees with a 30-40mph head wind at the time.

My mods thus far are:
-Full exhaust (lts)
-drop in filter
-MM LCAs
-Nitto DRs
-Dyno tune coming very soon

I'm wanting to drive my car to it's fullest potential or close to it before I continue to mod it. I'm curious what you guys think would be a very good ET or the best ET I could probably achieve with my mods. I'm guessing with a 1.8-1.9 60' I could easily see 8.7 possibly 8.6. Is that about as good as I could get with my mods?

Since the 1/8 mile is the only "close" track I would like to get 1/8 prediction but 1/4 times are fine.

If you could get in that 60 region you would be lucky to see 8.7 I would think. You don't have gears?

I have stock gears. Any mods I have done to my car are in the list. I'm hopefully going back this friday to see if I can cut better 60' times.

Congrats! Some gears and practice (a shot of juice will help a little too) and you'll knock that time down a bit.

Gears, tires, and suspension do wonders for these cars.

I know gears would be good. I'm curious what my car can run with the current mods plus a driver mod. Just recently I have decided I want to learn to drive my car as best as I can before I keep modding it.

Nitrous and a N/A tune are in the very near future. I'm hoping to learn to drive my car before I spray it.

Do you guys think an 8.6 is possible with my mods?
