Ok, everyone always rags on the moron guy with a beat up CRX who throws out everything in his car and drills holes in the floor to lighten the car - why can't one of these so called ricer boys with a tC do the same with full bolt-ons and just eek into that last two or three tenths of a second?
If you want on topic, the topic has already been answered by senseiturtle - it's mainly down to technique... but DAMN, it's so close.. Oh well, maybe next month.
BTW, why should it matter who buys what for whom? Attitude should be what matters.
WDS, heh, sorry, I don't think I brought it back on topic any further.. just.. 15.2 has been hit.. just 0.3 more seconds, dammit.

If you put a header on your car, I garuntee 14's. I put a megan header on it last friday, and holy poops it makes a difference. The antifouler CEL fix is still working 200 miles later as well.
Just ignore the rasp and do it

Knowing my luck, I'll hit 15.00 wednesday night.
I'm taking more weight out of the car, as well as actually going to lower tire pressures, in addition to the header. It wont be as cold as it was, but any improvement IS improvement.

WeDriveScions,
When will you be giving a shot at the 1/4 mile? Your power setup is what I'll be doing in the near future, as soon as I put the money together, minus the seats/nitrous/wheels.

Is that a call for a thread lock?
Why?
I was asking a simple question. If he doesn't want to run, he doesn't have to run. Just simply state so.
We might (and probably) have different goals for our cars, and that's cool too.
