I usually don't care about reaction time unless I'm bracket racing... I've seen more than a few times where a fast car will get paired against a moderate car, and the fast car ends up almost going into the opposite lane.

If I'm in the Tiburon for instance, and I get paired up against a TT Supra that I know will run low 11s, than I'm going to sit on the tree for a second to let him get out of the way so I know I don't get nailed.

24PSI is perfect for launching, at least for me.

Well I just finished up re-tightening everything today and noticed that one of the bolts just kept tightening, and tightening, and tightening, untill I noticed the thread was really far past the bolt. And I realized, A, I can't tighten this bolt on this part of the manifold anymore, and B, I've got a broken screw thread where the manifold bolts in... great. But there's no leaks, I don't think. I'll probably go to the track this Friday. And I'll be shifting sooner! And you're right I don't think I usually go below 20 psi either. Wish me luck.

Low 2.2 sec is fairly decent on FWD with no LSD. RWD/AWD is where all the fun 60' numbers come from. wink1.gif

That was my best with just CAI.

What mods do you have for those times?

2.2 is as best as your going to run on street tires with FWD... thats basically the limit on street tires, anything after that and your just overpowering it. Slicks would be a different story.
