Thanks. I've been trapping 97-99 for a few weeks, but havent had a real cold night to go to the track. It was pretty cold last night. Normally I get 14.3 -14.5 but like I said it was a little colder out last night and I got a 14.1. When I get a new sensor for my wideband I should be able to get into the high 13's with a little tuning.

I think the track closes in like a month, so I've still got a few more chances to get a 13

well this would be comin from driving my ta.

what i like to keep is live feet. meaning i keep stabbing the throttle to around the rpm i want...when the light goes i let the clutch out most of the way.

once the car hooks, its out the rest of the way and the gas is to the floor. he should be able to do this in his current trim.

Running 9-10 psi. Was running stock tire pressure last night, but I usually do about 20. Here's a FUNNY run that happened that night.

Im on the right. The guy in the S14 was talking smack about how my car should be running faster..

At the launch, my seat lunged back (a friend drove it and didnt adjust it correctly), the car then popped out of 1st and my gauges flew out of the dashboard. The car basically stopped, but I came back and beat his butt by 1.4 sec. hehe
