ill scan the time slip for ya. It was at night so it wasnt that hot. Yes i did drop the clutch at 6, and my reaction time sucks. This was my first time at the tracks so i didnt do so hot. FIrst run i messed up bad because my tires were still wet and so the launch was useless. Ill just get the time slip up for ya asap. Why shouldnt i go with the headers and exhaust if i plan on going sc+ac anyways? Will the vafc be useless once i get the sc?

not the greatest times

were you launching at 6k+ and dumping the clutch (you should be)


How many times did you race that night? Maybe you just had crummy track conditions, but a low 14 is usually pretty easy once you get used to the launch somewhat. Were you taking it all the way to redline without hitting the rev limiter? Were you barking the tires on your 2nd/3rd gear shift?...cause you shouldn't. Tires? Passenger?

Time slip please.

Reaction time has nothing to do with your 1/4 et.

As it was your 1st time I don't think you did all that bad, at least you have room for improvement.
