Well I'm getting upset.. None of my friends made videos and my phones almost dead. The third time I tried to make a run they said I had gravel from the sand pit so I spent half an hour trying to clean it out. I'm trying to do one final run. On my last one (4th time at the tree) I got a great launch, but I hit a patch of something, and spun Tire going 60.. My rpm dropped from 5k to 3.5k for like 3 seconds then caught again and I ran somewhere near mid 16s so I didn't get the slip.

what did you manage the first few runs before the gravel is the real question

Quoting my own post "to see if u can break 14's". This is the last event for the season. If I don't get a good run on my last one within 15 minutes I have to wait for it to be warm.. I'm trying for my best on this one

Ya but at least he tested it. It shouldn't be hard to get to the 14s. He just needs to add a few things. My goal is a 14.9 next time I go

Thanks.. I just finished with my best time of 15.253, I'll upload pics tomorrow. Honestly the only complaint I had would be that I still had gravel in alot of my Tire tread, and dust was pretty much coated on my tires. Other than that, I feel like if I had clean tires and got a few more runs in, that I could hit 15.1, maybe closer to 15 flat if I put a couple more touches on it, like a tiny bit more weight reduction, cleaned my fuel injectors, fresh oil change, etc.. Just some minor tweaks and more practice.

well thats the most important thing having a great time, and well I'm sure u can hit those times, and also with more time at the track and more runs, u should be able to drop the time some more and get into ur 14.9 goal

I know I could've hit 14.999...
-Clean tires
-Fresh oil change
-Fuel injector cleaner
-Passenger seat removal
-Lower Tire pressure in the front to like 26
-coolant temp not ******* up
-2 gallons less gas in my tank, I had 3.5 after 5 hours. 1/4 gallon used per run, pulled 20.2mpg even while idling in line (:

None of those things will really impact your time enough to notice, any decrease in time ET will come from driving better. Not saying it would hurt, just FYI

Not a good idea with a K&N intake, the underhood temps get too hot and the heat shield that comes with the intake doesn't do its job. IAT will raise to like 120s and the engine will start pulling about 4* of timing up top, which is enough to be able to feel.

OP I suggest popping the hood after every run and leave it open as long as you can to let the IATs drop back down to get the most timing.

I was all for getting in as many runs as possible, but the line was just SO long.. it was around 35-45 minutes, so between starting my car to move forward 20 feet, 10-12 times or so before making a run, my coolant thermostat on the DIC was able to drop from 230ish after a run down to 170-180s before I pulled to the line for the next one.
