The vid pretty much sums up my runs. It was my first time with the car at the track w/ my current setup. I plan on going a few more times this season as it starts to get cooler over here and hope to lower my ETs, I definitely think it's possible because of my traps, which I think can improve as well as we get some colder air. There was no scale there, so I have no idea what the car weighed. I started with 32psi in the tires and was getting some wheel hop, so I lowered them to about 23-25psi. For the most part I was pulling 2.2-2.3s, but did manage a few 2.1 60fts (gotta love FWD on a street tire).
The 335's best time was 13.3 @ 105.
The EG's best time was 13.5 @ 102.5.

That's pretty close to the times my buddy has in his gutted EP3 with a K20A in it. pretty good time, since you don't seem to have any major work done to the motor adn it's NA.
LOL do they make you wear a helmet if you run 13's?
Here you have to wear a helmet if you're low 12's or faster.
The track here in Iowa that I run at, if you're 13.99 or faster, you need a helmet.

Most NHRA tracks follow the requirements, test and tune nights a bit different and are generally lenient. When I ran my 12.5 I didn't have a helmet and no one said shit because I was making clean passes all day.

I wish it was calm like that when I drive my car down the track.
It will go faster as soon as I can get this issue with 2nd gear figured out, it really hurts my times that I have to shift slower 1st to 2nd then I do any of the other gears. Ordered an Omni Power CMC, read that a lot of people love this, so I am hoping to install that along with a stainless steel clutch line and go back in about a month or so to grab that mid 13s slip on street tires. My 60s weren't all that bad considering the setup, FWD car on street tires, I pulled off a couple , 2.1's...I need to mess with the launch limiter b/c I think I can come out harder than I was. And yes, you need a helmet no matter what you run.

^^^I ran a couple Stage 1 2.0T GTI's and it wasn't pretty. Need stage 2 or bust, imo...
