if that's the case I won't steal your guys' thunder 
that's not bad for the large wheels Simmons, just work on you launch a bit, I think you can get it down a bit more. I bet you can hit 16.1-15.8 by just driving better.

oh no, for your first track time that's really awesome dude, I know guys with many more modifications that don't do as well down here.
launching is critical with these cars, so the better your footwork is, the less you'll have to stress about off the line. I think you'll be able to do great though with more seat time. now I'm anxious to see what you run with the nitrous.
btw, it's pretty sweet to see the needle pull past 110mph, I did mine today

Green Monstah did it for me with one of the tech's in about 10 min if that.

Yeah those do look like stock times. I have an auto 2.2 with a Weapon R Intake. And I ran a 16.4. With about 250 extra pounds cause of my system. And Spun through all of first 
Thats weird I would think you would be running a little bit faster times with a CAI and Catback....

but i really like my car and just want to go faster w/ it.... i really think the fact that my CAI causes the power band to lag before 3k is hurtin my overall accel until that point...maybe if i convert to SR i might have the better low end to get down the track faster...what do u guys think?

Possibly. My intake is a SR gives me a little more power. But nothing huge. And thats weird 17's I dunno maybe i am driving a factory freak?? lol i was actually surprised with the fact that I ran a 16.4 Being that I have all that weight in my car, and that I spun through first....in an auto. haha
