I took my car to the track a couple of months ago, and I was just looking at some of the timeslips.... my best was a

I1 2.09
I2 5.95
I3 9.15
MPH(I3) 78.19
I4 11.88
E.T. 14.19
MPH 98.45

my car is a 1990' lx coupe 5 speed. my mods are: 3.73's, cold air, underdrive pullies, bbk shorty headers. so I was wondering, am I about where I should be

Sticky tires and launch off the rev limiter and you can go low 13's. For stret tires and milder driving it looks OK, should be able to hit 13's w/ a better 60ft and powershifting.

yeah, the runs were made on street tires, I was thinking there might be a high 13 in the car, if I powershifted it.. next time out I will give it a try
