Btw, I never got to go to the track last sunday. Had some other crap come up and had to be at work later, I'll keep this thread for when I do go. My track is not doing a test n tune for a while, but I'll post times when I go.
Maybe I'll get the coveted "cat-back exhaust" so I can break into the 15's since no one thinks I can do it, lol.
I really don't see how I wouldn't be in the 15's with an exhaust and the mods I have.

I went 16.40 @ 83.5 with an Injen CAI and Pacesetter Catback
1 year later I went 16.50 @ 83 with Intake, LSJ Exhaust Mani, Catless Downpipe, Catback & B&M
1 year later I went 17.35 @ 80 with Intake, Intake Mani, Exhaust Mani, Catless DP, Catback, Solid Mounts and a tune.
All I have to say is good luck, and if you want to make a friendly wager, I will bet you that you won't make a 15 second pass.

I just picked up a spare head from a junkyard for about $150, which is an insane deal since it is a 2007 like mine and had the cams and stock valves in it. I'm going to be slowly building that up with some cams, fererra valves springs and retainers, and I might even get it ported before hand. Hell, it's not that hard to port, it just takes a long time. I might even do it myself.
After that we'll see if I'm in the 16's.

I check my compression religiously along with many other things
I ran 192psi of compression the week I bought my car
Last time I changed my plugs (3 weeks ago) I had 191psi on all four cylinders.

I told you guys I'd be trying to go back as soon as I could, so I'm bumping this.
I found a track in Lufkin, TX that is open on sat. Finally getting to go on the 7th.
Only mods since what I first posted was a ss catback. Aside from the DP, I've got all bolt ons.
I'll post the vid whatever the results, lol.

Got brand new Sumitomo's a month ago.
I highly doubt 14's, I'm a 2.2 not 2.4. But I'm pretty damn sure I have an intake leak somewhere so I'm running lean.
If I don't break into 15's I'll be pretty disappointed.

Are mods mods in your sig what is on the car now? If so then you'll run better than 15's. If just basic bolt ons then I'm guessing 16 flat hopefully 15.99 lol.

Keep in mind I'm an auto, I'm expecting at least one 15 second pass. If I do a low 15 I'll be amazed.

Track is a nice place I've heard, and temp will be at a brisk 52 degrees.
Relax? All I gotta do is step on the gas in D.
Think I should lower tire pressure?

Managed to pull about a 100 lbs out of my car today, I'm bringing some people so I can't take out the back seat.
I'll post results when I get back this afternoon.

Well, sorry to disappoint but I did pretty bad.
I did like 3 16.02-9's in a row. I could not for the life of me break past it.
I got a video of the 16.09 but I'll have to wait to post it. Don't really even feel like taking the effort for such slow runs.
Mods are in sig, this is without the spare and jack.

We're talking about automatics.
And please don't talk **** about what you don't know anything about.
Yes, my car went 17.35 @ 80mph on motor.
5 minutes later I went 14.50 @ 96mph with 2 pounds left in a 10 pound bottle, so I don't want to hear ****.
For comparison there was an SS/SC at the track with a 2.6 inch pulley and his best pass was 14.58, and a stage 2 redline was going ~15 flat

What was I saying 2 months ago?
Props, you did better than I expected, but you do have more mods than when you originally posted 2 months ago. With a tune, I think you could make a 15.9 pass, but without a power adder you're not getting any faster.

Most of it was in the launch, every time I just spun. I'm going to go ahead and say the car probably has more in it, I just can't drive. I agree, a tune would really compliment it.
I don't know what kind of 60fts are good for 2.2's, but it seems really bad no?
Hey, I was within .02 of a 15. I was within a hair of proving you wrong, lol.
