I would get some good rubber on your rears after you install your utec and get it tuned, and just go to the close ****ty track to practice..

I already have the BFG KDW tyres. I know I would like some DOT drags but the $$$ is the problem. LOL Also the crappy track isn't always open.

I think a 14.8 or 14.7 is possible w/o the UTEC.

At 6200', your trap speed elevation factor is 1.0829. Your ET factor is 0.9224.

15.069 * .9224 = 13.900 sec
94.32 * 1.0829 = 102.14 mph

Good Job!

Get a sub-2.0 60' time and see where you stand.

I had to extrapolate to get the numbers for 6200'.

Nailed a 14.8 and 14.9 with TCS on using my automatic tranny . Just a popcharger too. I got luck. Lol.

I finally hit 14.7 and 14.5 with my new mods. Apex N1 exhaust and 3 peice UR pully set.

Automatic isn't bad at all. Sometimes I wish I went manual though . .

Remember FuriousZ that I'm at 6000' above sea level. The thin air reduces hp.
