Default new best time

Managed a 13.46 at almost 105 on friday for the best.

Previous best was a 13.57, and that was with a crazy headwind on the track, and was the first night at the track for me in the car.


Goal is under a 13.39......so I can say my 99 ls1 a4 lid catback fbody beat my cousins modded 06 m5 stang....tehehe

Not sure if ill get it but I did shave off .11 seconds my second night out, possibly with some better launches.

cut THE ENTIRE base of your lower airbox out, and i GUARANTEE, you'll get it and it will probably go .20's and trap 107mph...maybe 108

x2, it works. Bumped me from 111-114 mph (went from 3.23s to 3.73s at the same time, but the gear shouldn't effect trap like that).

Oh and by "THE ENTIRE" base, do you mean like how they do it on installuniversity (easy reference since they have good pics), or did you do it a different way?

well I did that and the tb bypass.

Managed a 13.58 my first run...started to get wheel hop half way through first.

Second run was a 15.88....hahah...no traction at all on the starting line.

Track was being cleaned most of the time, alot of the pro cars were poping hoses and leaking stuff down the track as well as I think a few scrapped the wall, so only got two runs.

My cousin went up with his 95 camaro and ran a 12.7 for the best that night.

Here is my 15.88 run, you can see the smoke rolling off the line, never had a traction problem until that night.

The porsche didnt run bad though hah

Pull the spare tire and jack out too if it's still in there and along with all the free mods you should pick up a little. Run about a 1/4 tank of gas.

Launch at 11 or 1200 rpms and shift it yourself 1st at 5300 and 2nd at 5800 it will give you at least a 10th.
