1/4 was mid 15s (15.5x all day). What happened was...
29PSI cold on these Nittos was too low. It was bogging. The longer I did a burnout the lower my MPH went. The last run of the day (only got 3) I drove right through the box water box with only a tiny burnout, gunned it off the line and burned through first and into second (just like my 10.7x run at Irwindale) got a shitty time but ended up with the best 1/4 mile MPH of the day... 86.91 1MPH faster than my first two runs.
I'm considering taking it like this to Irwindale on Thursday just to see what -150+ lbs and good tires does. Seems to agree with Irwindale a little more.

time for a job so I can afford a Vette (and bring it to Bob's... EVEN IF IT'S A RENTAL.)

Who knows, maybe this thing will have the pleasure of getting an M90 just because they sound bad ***. 
Oh yeah and by that time I would have a different car to DD.... AND A JOB.

Yeah I'm going to. Will be lining more of the interior with Frost King/Reflectix since it's out and then after a rebuild it's time for a n2o setup - perhaps a 75 shot. Should be good for hanging with stock LT1s or Honda S2000's. Who knows, maybe this thing will have the pleasure of getting an M90 just because they sound bad ***. Oh yeah and by that time I would have a different car to DD.... AND A JOB.

They hang about as well as bot-on Evos do (at least the ones I've ran... guess I've just had good luck running into fairly quick S2k's).
