It's nice to see my old posts around.

Yes the car was bone stock at that time.

I wish I lived in California. I live in Puerto Rico. Not bad place to stay. I live five minutes from the 1/4 Mile racetrack. I can hear the cars at night from my house. I don't think I need to do any corrections, 7 feet above sea level... My only drawback is the Humidity, It makes my car go slower on some days.

If you divide the distance of a quarter mile by the speed you did when you crosed the line it should give you the best time you could have gotten if all conditions where perfect.

EX: 1320ft / 94.5MPH = 13.96 ET

The problem is traction and again, hot weather and high humidity.

I made the car go down to 14.1 twice but it was at 1:00 AM with the temp down to 73F and 50% humidity. Of course this was with some engine mods... A'PEXi AVC-R Boost controller, Wastegate Spring mod, Free-Flow exaust, 1/4 tank of 93 Octane fuel, Stage 1, no rear seats, all intake silencers removed and a K&N filter.

After I reached that mark, I temporary retired because the car was almost imposible to control on the street.

Now I am at a conservative 14.7 but I can still kick but of many cars on the street.[?]
