Well.. Had a few runs at the dragstrip when stock and the best I could do was a 12.758 @ 112.91mph. Car had about 3,600 miles on it at the time.
Had a Roush blower installed about 3 weeks ago and finally made it to the strip again this past Saturday. Still on the stock Michelin Pilots. I only had time for two runs that day due to all of the team events but this time I managed a 12.213 @ 123.09mph. First run I barely launched it because I didn't know what traction would be like (2.47 60' time, lol). Second run I launched at about half throttle and kept it there until I found the tires hooking up. I did not pre-load, launch was off idle.
I know these times suck but this is my first rear wheel drive car with power and I am still learning how to launch properly.
The slip on the left is my best stock run, the slip on the right is run #2 with a blower. Traction control was NOT on for the stock time but WAS on for run two with the blower. I could feel it kicking in for at least the 1/8th mile.
