If you are running street tires, drive around the water... It gets trapped in the tread and tracks it up to the start line.

r/t only is how fast it takes you to react to the light...once you start moving....then your time starts...so no..sorry man...still 14.5's...

Mine ran 15.3 last September but that was with 2.73's and before I got upper and lower control arms, underdrives and a bigger MAF. It was on worn street tires too.

This year Im hoping for alot better times because Im putting heads and a cam in it and drag radials and a stall converter.

wow, thats a pretty slow reaction time, leave on the last yellow light and youll get better reaction times, and even better if you deepstage.

deepstaging is where you stage so the 2 lights are on and then go a little further tillthe toplight comes off
last year I ran a perfect light deepstaging
