That was against my friend with an MR2. He just got it back after having the complete turbo engine swap. He's got a stage 3 clutch that was acting up, not holding gears, not going in to gears...etc. His best time of the night was actually his 2nd run with a 14.2. Once he practices some more, and warms up a bit (he was also having traction problems when the clutch actually held. ) he should easily be in the 13's.

I'm in the NW suburbs of chicago on the weekends, and Milwaukee during the week. (for 3 more weeks atleast) NJ might be a little too far, but we'll see.

Hey, I didn't bail on you guys...just starting a new job at the end of May.

Anyway, hope you get a large turn out and fast times are put down at the track that night.

well if Jesse is on the funny gas, I think we will be breaking world records.

I cant for two weeks from now when I can go get some preliminary #'s. Im shooting for high 14's as a personal best on the night. Could break into mids by the 2nd

2 weeks from tonight should be when I'll be getting my first runs in on 4.444's!!!

Based on my mods and my trap speed my last time out, I'm thinking a high 14 should happen as long as I have 60* temps or cooler. By this Fall, I'd like to be in the 14.6-14.7 range...

Congrats on your 1/4 mile times in advance Michael. That's one killer SVX!

Darn it....not going thurs the 5th...somebody didn't ship me something I was waiting on. I have a few things to tweak anyway...I'll go next week. I'm going to start going every week actually. I know there are some more svx's in tampa but I don't think they are members of the forums. One of them is even here at USF. I see his car parked in the engineering lot all the time. I've actually walked past that car carying stage 1 orders to the post. I'm guessing they get their service done at Reeves and not Mastro and hence don't know about ECUtune.

Why don't you drop a card or note on the windscreen? Then you could learn them a thing or two about how an SVX should perform??

The windscreen? Aren't we all fancy now? Is your car designed by Giugiario or something?

Because when they get holes in them, they are merely screens no sheild anymore
