Thats pretty slow for those mods. I ran a 14.9 on just intake and mufflers. how do you launch it? I've tested it and since my tires dont get grip if i brake launch it, I actually just have 1 foot on the break and the other ready 2 hit the gas at the last yellow and then just floor it instead of launching it.

i'm gonna say not bad. for a first time that is. quite a few guys end up getting happy on the gas and lose traction. so they end up running 15s. too bad the nearest real track to me is a few hours away. only have an eighthof a mile here.

well what i did was i had one foot on the brake and the other on the gas...i held the brake down while pressing the gas down, got it up to like 2000 rpm, then id let off the brake and gas it all the way....idk though...it was a very big night so i only got two runs...

Even though you are new at the track, those trap times are low for a modded car like yours. I am willing to bet that possibly your IMRC is not working. Anyone with more knowledge want to chime in.

dont hold the gas while holding the brake, I tried both ways and have had faster times not launching it.

so basically you just floor it on green??? like i said, i really wanted to try different things, but it was so crowded and I only got 2 runs hopefully if i go next friday ill try what you said...thx

eddie30013

you floor it when you see the last yellow because by the time you start moving, it'll be green and that will improve your reaction time
