so on friday i went to the track for the first time and ran a 15.9 flat on the 1/4 mile i read info on the car before hand and the pro's were running 15.7 so i was stoked i took a v6 mustang a v6 s-10 and a BMW E36 328i we are all ametures and obvisely not the best drivers but it was a hell of a good time post up with good stories if ya got them

 

thats good...im thikin of changing my exhaust to the hks hi-power..how does it sound and look..i have ijnej sr an daw header...

 

i ran a 15.1 with hks, short shifter and CAI intake

 

15.686 with my only mods being lowering springs and a clutch pedal stop.

 

whats a clutch pedal stop?

 

exactly what it sound slike, stops the cluch pedal ie: you spend lest time pressing the clutch in and more time mashing the gas pedal

well congrats on the 15.1 thats crazy with those mods you must be able to launch like a mother and as far as the hks it sounds great i heard it on a s/c tc and WOW it sounded sweet eventualy i would like to get a turbo "i know wrong section" but my first upgrades will be a header and s pipe any opinions on quality and product would be apriciated

 

ummm i got one, don't waste money on a header if you're going turbo, nor should you get the s pipe as your downpipe after the turbo will probably be a different diameter

 

just curious if anyone has tried to drop the tire pressure to get better traction ie better quarter mile. I heard somewhere that by reducing the front tires from 33lb to just around high teen will gain more track - making better time. I've personally tested this yet.

 

1) Ran 15.3 with just a header and hacked airbox. The hacked airbox doesn't do anything, i've learned.

2) Lowering tire pressure in the front works for better straight-line (drag) racing. It'll ruin your handling. Inflate the rears to 40 or so PSI.

When autocrossing, inflate your tires as much as you're comfortable doing. I run 40 or so PSI at all 4 corners, and it significantly bettered my handling.

3) Going S/C ? - then getting an intake is a waste.... Going turbo? Then getting a header is a waste.. Do lots of research before considering investing that much money into something you'll need more than a basic knowledge to maintain.

 

yeah..

 

Times are in the sig of when we were N/A, and the only two mods we had at the time.
