Default Dragstrip Part II... (Disappointment?)

Well guys and gals, I think this is all i'm going to be getting out of the B18B (Stock).
Ran at Atco again last night and this is all i could get out of her... (Right lane)


I'm not totally disappointed , but i thought i could atleast wring a 15 flat out of it. I'm going to try a "tune-up" / some minor tweaking, and see if that helps any. Anyways, atleast last night was'nt a total waste. I talked to someone that posts on here. He was a super nice guy and has one of the cleanest cars out of anybody on here, 6ghatch .........

Well, i'll post some updates if i ever get away from 15.2.........lol

Thanks, your car looks sweet also, but damn! we were stuck in line for like 4hrs. Is it always like that? I was trying to get back to see the new Star Wars flick, but I heard It wasn't that good anyway.

I can't get any better 60ft's, damn heavy EK's, my best was 2.29. I should strip some interior out for next time.

No, it's only like that when they run the damn gamblers. The gamblers races where postponed on tuesday, so they ran last night. If i had known that, i would have never gone! That was total BS, i was so pissed off.......

Did you do anything with your tire pressure at all?

I know how you feel about the whole weight thing too. That's why i got my car stripped to all hell........
