I dyno at 177hp/155tq at SZ06 (which I thought was pretty decent)... A year ago I run a 15.4 1/4 mile. I go to the track this weekend with new mods including headers, opt'ed Y pipe, koni sport suspension, RSTB, subframe connectors... I was hoping for a 14.999, but Nooo0o0oooooooooo!!!  I'm stuck with a consistent 15.2x... After 3 or 4 15.2x's I became frustrated and the times started dropping 15.3x... 15.4x, then I called it a day. I want to be able to get into the 14's N/A and without a 3L, and I've done just about every supporting mod. What can I do to obtain a 14.999 or better?
Rant off...

what were your short times? trap speed? weather? same track? Those things you need to take in to account first. Maybe its the driver's lack of experience. The other thing to remember is that these cars do not respond to HP mods well, its all small things, which add up. MPH reflects the HP moreso than the et.

I hope you mean 91-93, if it was 81-83 you have bigger issues.

 I'ld own you Mark 
I'm going again next week...i'm out for 14.8 
Robert...once you get a propper launch down you're times will improve. The 2.5 has so little torque down low, i find the key is to keep the rpms above 3800 at ALL times....once the secondaries close, you're done for.
