Default First time visit to the strip, and got me 3 time slips....and well, you get the idea :\

first trip ever to any strip today (carlsbad) not much i can say as far as the cars over there, they were all SWEET !

only got in 3 runs, before it got real full with cars.....maybe next week

Run #1:

60FT: 2.764
330FT: 7.068
1/8ET: 10.437
1/8MPH: 73.04
1/4ET: <U>15.807</U>
1/4MPH: 90.77

Run #2

60FT: 2.989
330FT: 7.519
1/8ET: 10.942
1/8MPH: 72.14
1/4ET: <U>16.392</U>
1/4MPH: 85.90

(no comment here, heh)

Run #3 -&gt; Best of the day (yet the machine went dead and only got 1/4 ET and MPH)

15.090@92.33mph

now my question judging by the 60ft's and the mph on the best run, whats my car 'capable' of? and how did i fare?

still a newbie, and alot to be learned at the strip, but hopefully with some time, ill fare somewhat decently

for listening.

You must have some really high trap speeds, what are they?

What kind of tires are you using?

If you improve on your 60 footers you will be hitting low 14's

You'll get better as you get out there more.

10.5+ is not that good for an EG with a GSR motor (no offense).
My friend has the same and ran 9.5 a couple of times.
My brother's 95 Accord LX with just straight pipe / exhaust and AEM c/a/i has run a 10.1 a couple of times, but usually is around 10.3-10.5

Did you let the tire pressure down in the tires?

BTW&gt;&gt; All we have here in a 1/8trh so no 1/4 mile times.

well to try and explain the first 2 horrible runs (15.8 & 16.3)

i just dropped the clutch at 3.5k

last run i feathered it at around 3.3/3.4k and got a 15.0

so ya, it will take some time..didnt lower the tire pressure either...
