This is my setup=
2400lbs, 1/4 tank, 2600 with me in it.
awd 1990 dodge colt
stock 200k 4g63
no b,s.
centerforce df
2- 1/4 exhaust
ebay fmic
14b running 18 psi boost
headgasket is on the way out.
If it wasn't for the tranny rebuild and new clutch, i would still have a 1000 dollar car here. Unfortunately its more like a 2000 dollar car now. I guess i'll still be stoked on 13's but who am i kidding i want 12's!

Well i didn't quite reach my goal time but i still had a blast. When i first got there i noticed a 350z, looked it over and told my buddy I want to race that guy. When i got to run, guess what? 350z. After i did my run and i talked to everybody about it they said the people in the crowd were joking about a dodge colt versus a 350z what a joke this wont be a race who is this guy kidding. My buddy said the other drivers were like kinda shaking their heads. Keep in mind this was my first drag race at a track. ever. To make things look worse the track guy had to coach me on how to stage. But when i left the line, jaws dropped everywhere (or so i am told). And so did my exhaust, the force of the launch on the sticky track caused it to fall off, but i just kept going anyways. I left that 350z in the dust, he ran 14.9 I ran 13.07 dragging my whole exhaust system the length of the track. They gave me shit for going too fast without a helmet. But they said i could run again if i fix the exhaust. I pulled the whole exhaust and borrowed a helmet (I brought one but it was too old) And my second run pulled a 13.3. Both runs my driving was decent. No missed shifts, decent launches.
I plan to go back next friday and shoot for that 12 second pass.
Violating the stock 350z was sooo worth going just for that.
The second car i raced was a 80's malibu with a cage, And like open headers loud as hell, big burnout. Yes i beat him too, but it was real close.
Actually i was probably the fastest guy there with street tires. The closest i saw was a modded 08 sti ran a 13.1

Makes me wish I still had a small turbo for street tires. The big 60-1 just spins and spins my streets.

I finally did it. I ran 12.997 at 107.3 mph I was starting to make some good power on the 20g, but then i had a wastegate issue, so i threw the 14b back on one last time to see if i can best my old time now that i have the pocketlogger and the upgraded fuel system. I guess the tuning helped a wee little bit. I guess to really push the 14b to the limit i would need race fuel or water/meth and better exhaust/ intercooler. It was at the limit. 20 psi boost.
