I went to my local drag strip on Tuesday night. My times sucked pretty bad.
17.02 @79mph w/ a 2.5 60"er 16.87 @79mph w/ a 2.4 60"er I know The GT are suppose to be able to run 16.4 stock, but of course I do have 100k miles. My rear struts are blown, but I don't think that would have that much to do with it. I did have insane wheel hop tho. I launched at 3,500 on the first run, then 4,400 on the second run. Any input would be great. List of my mods are the info of course. BTW, my buddy pulled a 13.9 with his SR20det S13 w/ lsd, bov, suspension, and azeny(sp) tires. Kinda makes me consider an S14 all the more. -------------------- NASA/SCCA RX-7....currently under the knife

I think you're launching too hard on street tires... which kills your 60' time... which kills your 1/4 mile. Deflate down to around 20psi and launch from around 2.5 to 3k. I launch at 2.5-3k rpms in my ST on street tires and can pull mid 16 times w/ 2.2 60 footers... I've also run a few times also in my ST on slicks and launch at around 4500 rpms... tip-toeing high 15's /w 1.8 60 footers...
