Actually shaved off about 1/10 second on the 1/4 mile compared to stock! 13.514 sec

Traction played a huge role. Running 285 rear vs stock 245

Temp 89 degrees

No burnout or breaking torquing (new tires).

Ventus v12

Exhaust washer mod :tup:

Must....fight....washer....mod.....

Seriously, nice job. Work on that 60' time. You could knock off a good .2-.3 there....

"Exhaust washer mod?" What is that? Inside joke?

A way to kill yourself with carbon monoxide.

You put washers at the axle back part of your exhaust (in between the flanges) to get a better sound so they say.

Nice time! Imagine if you worked towards performance!

I didn't want to burn through a set of new tires with a proper burn out. It hooks just right without break torquing, and it spins a bit (also slower time) when launched at 2-2.5k rpm.

The exhaust washer mod was a joke btw
But it didn't kill the power, that's the most important part

You shouldn't be burning out street tires at the strip, anyway.

Man that is really surprising you did better with large diameter heavy wheels.

Probably all the improvement was in the no slip launch as you said.

considering it's 89 degrees that's a really good time IMO. I normally run 12.9s to 13.0s and when warm like that I run 13.3 or 13.4 almost without fail so.... seems good to me.

Haha I still don't understand the general hate towards the exhaust washer mod.

It really does sound decent and proved by my run that power wasn't lost.
