I ran the car only once in early February at Coastal Plains dragway. The car was bone stock, save for the Injen CAI, but I still managed to pull off a 14.75@94mph. I plan to go again Thursday, August 10, and hope for a 14.5@98mph. In any case, this car is a lot of fun and is an ongoing (but always running) project.

Well, I went to the dragstrip last night. It was about 85 degrees and my best time of the night was a 14.86@93mph. My (stock) clutch is not as good as it was in February and the temperature difference of 40 degrees also made me slower. I bet I'll hit 14.5 in the winter.
