This is what I was thinking. He could have just had a faster car to begin with, but wasn't running it to its full potential. Hell, I was running bad times at first, then shaved off about .6 just by driving it RIGHT. Then I upgraded my exhaust and got some lowering springs. While my launches were smoother and a bit quicker than before, I only picked up .1 in the final ET.

if this is all true then you are either very brave or very stupid. i am not sure which.

The difference between bravery and stupidity is whether or not you succeed

Interesting thread! Racerbox you've stepped up to the plate now, so let's see if you can knock this out of the park like you're saying ...  BTW, wasnt there some other guy with a nearly stock car, who ran a 14.7 a number of years back? I think I may still have the vid of the run. Can't remember who it was though ...

great.  now tell me the steps i need to take to send the video after i record the 14.6 run. which i know will be faster than last fri. because its suposed to be 15 degrees cooler this fri. 
thanks
ps i expect numerous apologies after i get this vid.
DO me a favor, video tape the engine bay first then have the camera guy show u in the driver seat at the tree before u launch and then show the 1/4 mile time. That should prove alot to us.
I reject your reality and substitute my own.

But I need someone to tell me how to post the vid.
ps: Norwalk Raceway Park is one of the nicest tracks in the country. The times are accurate or the World Nationals (for one) wouldnt have an event there.

i believe it was a 14.9 and i think he had an intake and catback. Btw, back a couple years ago, the best run was a 14.5 on a modded 2.5L and that included slicks.
