A little more seat time, slightly better air and some more tuning helped me get into the 13.0's tonight. Sooo close to 12.99 with bolt ons in my Ap1. I swear, if I only had one more pass lol.. I believe I could get down into the 12.75 range by the end of November as a bolt on car. I'm no longer slower than my 1997 Saturn Sc2 ( it's best was 13.22 @ 102mph 2 years ago)
Mods- custom CAI, 70mm tb w/intake mani matched to it, PLM header, custom 3" exhaust, using (2) pypes M80 straight through mufflers and tuned by me with Aem ems2. Act clutch&pp, stock flywheel, Stock ap1 trans, driveshaft and stock gears. 17x8.5 or 9 JNC wheels with 225 45 17 tires up front, 245 40 17 sumitomo htr z street tires out back. Weight- 2770 with me in it, DA started off at +355 and ended at -398
I'm not too worried about my R/T since I'm just trying to figure out the best launch and ET the car. One less thing to worry about lol.
Just in case some people are new to drag racing, your R/T (reaction time) has no effect on your ET (elapsed time). The only time it matters is when you are running somebody heads up, or bracket racing. The timer does not start until the car moves :thumbsup:

Your R/T has EVERYTHING to do with your ET. Yours was almost 2secs! Not trying to give you a hard time, but Sheeeeeeeeez
Sooooo using your theory, if I cut a .000 light, I'd run a 11.01 @ 107mph....
I really hope you are kidding. If not, then give this a quick read. Straight from the NHRA. It's even alphabetized. Look up elapsed time and reaction time. http://www.nhra.com/nhra-101/nhra-glossary
You're welcome. Glad I could educate you.
I usually make 100 passes/year at the track, plus numerous visits to get my customer's tunes dialed in. I have plenty of experience at the drag strip.

I think he didn't read the 2nd part of your post. He's thinking of heads up racing....
You sir know how to drag the shit out of your car. 13 flat on a fbo s2000 with stock gears is not an easy feat. If you break 12s thats gotta be a record of some type. Shit, 13flat must be a record of some kind. Good job man
