Recommend you retry to post this in the drag racing forum but with my dx shell and that motor with that setup I pulled a best of 15.2 on almost bald steelies. But wrong forum and search is your friend. There is a thread about any question typically on here.

Many things apply, weight of car, barometric pressure, humidity, and mostly driver.

Just throw on a GReddy or Apex turbo kit on there and call it good.

Good point I was running 2120 with me in car! I was pretty well gutted for a dx.

Next the best way to find out shifts is to get a dyno find your tq/hp curve take that and ummm ok here you'll notice I lose the knowledge but find out when to shift to hit right at that point. Typically it's about 500 rpms lower than redline.

I don't know I shift at redline and got those times. My biggest thing that changed my times in these torqueless wonders was my launch rpm and tire PSI.

Here is a image of my time slip and if memory serves I documented the tire PSI cause well duh I don't remember to well.


Sorry link doesn't directly go. Go to conekillers and the very top one michael.

It's got a video/timeslip/link to track of the time. Beat that proof!!!!!
