14.747 @ 96.14, 15% Pulley and HAI only

approximately 55 degrees outside, 3/4 tank of gas, no lightening of the car or tire pressure changes made. I did spray the intercooler with water between runs.

60' 2.411
1/8 9.611@76.67mph
1/4 14.747@96.14mph

Last year when I was stock I ran 15.308 @ 91.34, so a 15% pulley and HAI got me +4.8mph and -.561s. Not bad for under $300 in mods I think.

My best MPH of the night was a 14.828@96.77 (2.473 60'). Let's just say I was having traction problems. It was even spinning a bit on the 1-2 shift.

This was at Portland International Raceway in Portland, OR. The stock run was almost exactly one year prior at the same track with similar weather conditions.

The car is an '05 MCS with almost no options, so one of the lighter ones. I have Goodyear Eagle F1-GSD3 205/50x16 tires on the stock X-lites.

I'm happy with the MPH, but clearly need more traction and/or better launch skills to get the 60fts and ET down.

Yep, but I'm at the point with the car that I don't want to spend anything else other than maintenance/repairs. Although having friends with 500+ rwhp boost machines does make it somewhat tempting to join them.
