Default Thirteens!!! Woot Woot!!!
Temp: 68 degrees
Humidity: 50%
Barometer: 30.07

Finally ran my 13.9x today!!! woohooo!
Mods are STOCK INTAKE, SS/JB Headers, Supra rear-end (3.76 torsen), PI torque converter and HKS mufflers.
A strong side breeze was coming in and started to kill my mph so I only made these 3 runs. You can see each 60' gets better, but each top end MPH drops significantly due to the wind. damn wind.
If ya look at the 330' times and the 1/8th times, you can see that the last run (yellow) might have been a 13.95 without the headwind!! Grrrr!

very nice run! Think of how much faster our cars would be if we're able to trap at 100mph+. Even avalons are able to trap higher than us.


Anyone know who holds the record for the quickest NA run?

Congrats!

I went to Infineon a few months back and there's a reason I don't talk about my results. Driver incompetence, no doubt, as a stock IS350 that was part of our group was pushing 13.8's.

thanks everyone!

the rear tires are 245x17 Pirelli's on stock chrome rims.

I do pump up the front tires and remove the spare. Always run on low gas also.

you should get some silver 16s for the track. put a skinny 195 or 205 tire on the front, 235 rears and maybe you'll hit 13.80s.
