Everyone seems to have forgotten the most important factor here, driver skill. Tommyguy2 if you are having trouble breaking 15s then maybe you should learn how to drive. Why not trade your CL in for a G35 since you are so unhappy?

Why do you care so much? If he has NoS then so be it. Several people on this board have gotten great times and you just sound like some whiney kid. Don't take it out on another member because you can't break 14.8 with all of your mods.

I think everybody realised that I'm not lying so that's all that matters to me. As I said many factors could explain those times, but it's not nitrous. What about all those threads I listed ? Did you check them out carefully ?
ok , bye now

Icing the intake I think made your runs so great. Col intake mani = at least .2 seconds faster in the 1/4.
and jsut for the record. altitude alone plays a HUGE part in power output of an NA car. The b est time I can run up here in dever is 16 flat, maybe high 15s on a cold day. At sea level I could run high 14's low 15's.
Tons of factors in 1/4 mile times tommyguy, so just bcause you can't get your car to do that doesn't mean that someone else can't.

Three Wheelin'
My '03 CL-S auto did a 14.42 @ 101 N/A with I/H/P and SSR Comp wheels on street tires with temps in the 70's. I backed that up with a 14.43 the same day. I believe the guy and everyone else should too.

I believe banana's times are correct. I think the main factor is the wheels. Those are some light wheels. many of you are probably running with some heavy ass wheels. Plus the driver factor. I think his shifts were right on the money. with Nos or a 3.5 conversion the time should be a good mid to high 13s.
