That is about right. Maybe a different catback next time and you would gain some more power.

Nice numbers though

Nice numbers. Your times are good too. Was that before the mods or after?

I bought the car with the catback and lid on it. I know it doesnt flow the greatest, but it sounds really good. The track time was also on those mods, and i know i can do better. i was on stock tires, and couldnt pull out anything better than a 2.1 60ft. I just got some nice tires for the track, so i should be able to improve on my time this summer.

On street tires, you should not have been in the water box. Just turn em over real quick in the dry to clean the dirt off.

Believe me, guys with traction problems are watching you and getting very pissed as you ruin the track.

Honestly, normally i do go around. but it depends on the track day. if its a Open street car/midnight madness then every person with a honda accord wagon comes out to run a 19.3 at the track! those are thing nights when i just go up there to get some track time in and practice. Actualy events though, i go around.... You are right, i should go around all the time though.

I have a set of MT e/t streets waiting to be put on my stock rims. Then i get to test my rear out!

It's for your own good as well as courtesy. Street tires hold the water in the tread and then lose traction. I love a good burnout as much as anyone, but at the track it's about hooking up and ET, not looking cool.

And after I sit in line for 35 minutes waiting on my turn, last thing I want is to get up next after a street tired car that got the starting line all wet.

Let the ricers do that, we should know better.
