First time at the track is this good??

Today i went for the first time and ran 7 times, I have no mods excpet comptech springs, and Im on stock tires that have 26k on them, it was about 80 outside, i didnt take my spare, jack out and i had a full tank of gas. 5 of the 7 times i ran 15.3's one time i ran 15.8 and the last race i got a 15.2. Is this good for my first time besides lighten up my car what should i do to try and get beter times?? thanks

Those are good times all things considered.

Are you using auto, SS, or gate shifting?

Err, and what 19s do you have on the way?

I was gate shifting, i had mostly .6-.7 reaction times, one .53, and a .45 once.......As far is the 19's, i have the Axis Se7en Mod (the new one that looks like the 3pc) the first shipment of the wheel is suppose to be in 4-6weeks.

15.2-15.3 is average time for the CL-S. On a less humid and cooler day, I suspect you can do 15.0-15.1, stock.

To improve your times, consider a CAI. That should net you a .2 sec saving on a cool day . Better tires will definitely improve your 60Ft times and eventual 1/4 mile times. If you have the cash, consider headers and lighter rims. With headers, I was able to consistently shave off .3 sec from my 1/4 mile. I have not try with the lighter rims yet, but will soon.

yup, i have i went the the track and saw a stick cl run 15.3 best. it was a hot day so i say he might have done better with some tricks like racing gas lower psi and a cooler temp. im guessing most stick CL's in s.cal run 15.1 or possible 15.0 with a close to perfect launch straight into vtec.
