Default Took my car to Byron dragway...

ran a 14.50 @ 93...I left the line at like 1200 rpm (25 psi in rears)...I imagine I could have run faster if Id left harder (2.15 60ft)...what do you guys think? See sig for mods...since then I have added new cap, rotor, plugs, wires, coil and bumped the timing to 14*...what times are you guys running with this set up on street tires (Nitto 555 extremes)?

agreed, my wheels weigh a ton...but I think I still had some traction left...I just didnt want to fry the clutch...would you do subframe connectors or control arms first?

subframes considering you have a 'vert. if money allows do both at the same time.

I would do the control arms first....

first I would buy a pad to write down things like track temp, psi in tires ,rpm launch etc....good notes will help....when at the track I would buy 2 old ten holes and some et streets..you see a 1.90 60 foot on just that
