I would say thats pretty good, the first time I dragged my TII I ran a best time of 15.3 or something like that.

Umm.. I'll be the first one to say it, but 14.8 is not a good 1/4 mile time for a TII engine in a S1..

Should be quicker than that.
but maybe you just need to practice your launches or something simple like that.

I am assuming you mean 36°C which = 97°F.

That is hot.

You really should put the car on the dyno. That would answer a lot more questions about your car and it would take the driver element out of this guessing game.

It is hot, but a 15 sec pass is definetely too slow for a T2 FB. Full numbers on the pass should be posted, maybe it was a 110 MPH pass @ 15.0 sec.........

I did the 1/4 Mile Time in 14.83 @ 93.97 MPH with a really bad launch. All I have done is the mods listed below. I think I can do better next time, which will be this friday

Stock I did 15.6 in the 1/4 but can't remember my speed.

Just work on your launch...that's what hurts me the most.

Later,
Mike

p.s. nice sleeper

14.8 is not good @ all. What's your setup? What's your times? we need more info, with a full exhaust, you should atleast hit low 14s-hi 13s. What TurboII motor is it? S4? S5? prolly s4 because of MOP prolly, even so you should hit low 14s.
