15.1 @ about 94-95, would be my guess.. but exactly "how" good you are is a mystery to me.

they call me The MASTER:)) I guess I am good. on the gtech i do 0-60 for 6.7 (my fastest time) and 6.8 is my average...and i know that car is not faster than 6.9 (stock for E1) and mine is 195hp, not 200hp. well, since i have never been to a track before, will i get a 0-60?? if not, where should I go to get that??

The track doesn't "measure" your speed except at the 1/8th and 1/4 marks.

SOME (and I emphasize SOME) tracks will calculate (read: guess) your 60mph time using the time measurements that they DO have.

hmm i see. that sucks. well here is the non drag related part again:) don't complain though...
so i spoke with the "head" mechaninc at a ford dealership. he was fixing my A/C so we started speaking about his cobra's exhaust and what not. so he said that if the car has too little back pressure, is not good, and will often result into a slower lauch from a stop position. like in my case, no rear mufflers, and if i put a magnaflow...what that be considered with no/low back pressure?? and is it like a drawback? any clues?

search up on "back pressure myth"

that's all it is. Though I wouldn't jump at the "head" mechanic's neck for thinking the same thing.. it is a VERY POPULAR myth, at that.

Dyno gains have been proven and posted with nothing on the block at all/headers only on the block. Someone else will chime in on this, too, as someone always does on CEG!
