I'm really surprised of how fast I took off..

is a 2.329 0-60 ft time good?

that is for a 12A with Full RB exhaust system and a lot of extra weight in the back

2.3 60' time isn't bad.. if you're a new driver and/or you've got really bad tires on the back.. just out of curiosity, what was the quarter time and trap speed on your run there? Anything else done ot the car, aside from the RB exhaust? Thanks,

17.4 at 78MPH

Others mods are no air pump, K N Air Filter

By the way, I have a huge sound system in the back and my tires suck too

That is the exhaust you just picked up from Mazdee's in TO right?

Glad to see you got is running.

I hope to set my car up in a simalar fasion to yours this winter. The phat sound system is already in place, and K&N, but I have to order the exhaust yet. I also want to put in an electiric fan.

Wow, I think the funny thing is that the Iroc still only barely beat you. It doesnt really look like he launched though. What was his time?

SLOOOOOOWWWWWWWW lol

Remove some weight, the car should run 17.2 stock, with header and exhaust it should be low 16s at least... that is unless you have a TON of extra weight.

Next time I'll go at the track, I will have a custom made Cold Air Intake on and I will remove some stuff :

My spare tire
My speakers in the back

I'll also make sure that I won't go when the weather is way too hot(when I went it was 30 degrees Celcius)

This gives you an idea of my extra weight :


I'm going to remove that box...

305 and 350 tpi's are damn near the same in power output. Something like 15hp difference.
