As for me, my final run was my best run, but even it was crappy. One of the guys working at the track said I should be more than able to hit below 14 seconds for the 1/4 mile. He also estimated that I have at least 400hp in my car.. hehe well hey I can't argue with someone who's seen a lot more motor work than I have. I had issues with gettin good traction in the first few hundred feet. I'm runnin stock/street tires, though. Back when this car was Tom's, he ran 15's at 88mph max, if I'm not mistaken. I'm gettin the same/worse times at higher speed, which means that if I can get a good hookup off the line, I can certainly get even faster speeds, and definately faster times.. And if I just mashed full throttle right from the line, I had an issue with the motor basically stalling for a second before startin to really get up and go. I don't know if it was becuase of flooding/starving becuase of the sudden huge increase in throttle or what. I had good control in terms of controlling gears and getting good reaction times, but I just totally had issues gettin the starting acceleration. Ah well, until next time (if there is a next time) ... I know the car has the potential.. it's just a matter of driving ability. To the dragstrip, I'm still quite the noob. haha. _________________ -THE SURGEON GENERAL WARNING NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT SMOKING A FORD Back to top Author Message mazdaspeed10420 Joined: Jan 30, 2005 Posts: 236 Posted: Sat May 13, 2006 11:59 pm    Post subject: Re: Cecil County Drag Runs   you have the trap speed to dip down into the mid 14s for sure. That 2.5 60' is what is killing you. I ran a 14.9 im my protege and trapped at 93 mph with a 2.0 60'.
