i know i will not get such an animal in the track but it has to be better than my 16.39s i did last time (considering that the track here doesnt have grid)

So what are you running in the quarter, with the current mods?

The new "no horsepower" mods won't help make it faster only smoother but Im still interested what you end up running.

Your shifting is only as fast as your clutch engagement, the short shifter won't speed you up! trust me

I see you're smoking a tiburon in the photo. Did you actually beat it down the track?

i gained .4 seconds by adding tires, control arms, and a lightweight driveshaft to my camaro...so dont tell me that a 'no HP mod' wont take time off your quarter.
