get rid of the 18's, stereo equipment(just for going to the track) and get more mods

On my first time I ran a best of 15.6 on 18's. All I got is a ghetto CAI and a set of AEM underdrive pullies. My second time, I got a best of 15.405. A bit disappointing since I added some motor mounts and removed my AC. I also ran on my stocks. I thought I would get a better gain than that. But if you want to improve your time, the best thing to do I think, is to improve your launch. Everything else will definitely help, but without a good launch, you'll be wasting too much time gaining momentum. All the posts I've read indicate that we should be capable of hitting low 2 second 60' times. I have not been able to get a better 60' time than 2.5. My brother-in-law has a Impreza RS that's running a best of 15.2. His car does not have the top end like the ludes but he gets a good 60' time of 2.0 pretty consistently.

Oh btw, reaction time doesn't count against your ET's. The clock starts as soon as your car moves.

ludetech, you run at PIR? Some of the guys in my car club run there. I've been there a few times just not in the lude yet cuz it's shopped ATM. Maybe we should meet up and talk Ludes.

Oh, and be on the look out for the 10 second CRX! It's a bad little Ho!
