Default what can i do to get better 1/4 times.

Just like it says . I have a b18c1 with skunks2 mani , CAI , dc 4-1 header , and greedy sp cat back but my muffler fell a part so I'm running with stock muffler and i have like no tred on my tires. by the way this is my first time to the track.

here is my best time slip. i lunched at 3G's

r/t 1.209
60' 2.310
330 6.533
1/8 10.012
hph 71.34
1000 12.957
1/4 15.487
mph 89.58
what I'm i doing wrong. From what people tell me i should be running at lest 14's.

it's the driver! just messin with ya kenny!....

it's an EK hatch running on steelies w/ bald tires, wings west buddy club body kit, almost a full tank of gas, and full interior. I was guessing it was a combination of weight and shitty tires cuz he was spinning through every gear.....better luch next time eh?!

Reaction time doesn't mean dick. Its not factored in. Many people have said this over and over on these boards but it still seems to be a rumor that just won't die. Your 60ft isn't THAT bad. I would say if you had good traction that you would cut 2.2's or so putting your time at 15.2 or so. Your problem lies in your trap speeds. Your only hitting 89mph! That indicates that you just aren't making the horsepower you should be, especially in a hatch. With the mods you have listed, I would say you should trap at least around 95mph. Hell, my stock Si trapped at 89mph. Something isn't right with that setup. You running any kind of chipped ECU? Been on the dyno?

Even at 92mph, it still seems way too low. Are you throwing any codes?
