I don't know if you noticed it, but my car doesn't always hit redline. I think it's the precats being clogged up as my dyno eluded to with the low torque. I'll probably get headers soon to fix it. I wanted to have the choice between DSP and SM for autox events, but I think the headers will shoot me to SM only. I reckon it's worth it.

Why would the headers put you into SM? You don't need to keep any cats to run in SP.

well, i gotta say thanks to all the input. yeah, i wasn't slipping the clutch, coz i don't want to wear it out that fast. and also i am afraid to shift from 2nd to 3rd coz, i already changed one tranny and don't want to change it again...cant afford that kind of thing. so i am going to the track tomorrow night. looks like it will be about 100F with 100% humidity...yeah, sucks, but i promise i will slip the hell out of that clutch and if my car is capable of getting me hope, i will report my new times. i know the svt should do like 14.9-15.2, and i have some mods, so i hope to improve my time...i will go with almost empty gas tank, take out my subwoofer out...jack, spare and etc...hell, i will even take a crap before i go  ) any last recommendations, other than slipping, launching at 3600-3900rpm, keeping the 2ndaries open and shifting fast and hard at redline???? p.s. hope my car survives

If you are worried about breaking your car, maybe you need to consider your differential. It is stock, correct? If so, wheel hop is your enemy, and you may not be able to launch enthusiastically without sacrificing some margin of diff safety.
If you rev higher, shift harder/quicker, hit 15.6 ETs but still do not break anything, you had a good day at the track. (OK, ANY day you drive home from the track without needing a tow is a good one.)

Well Put ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If You wheel hop even once with a medium to aggressive redline, then baby it the rest of the night off the line.

ok, so im still alive. so is my car. better numbers for you all..
60 -- 2.225
330 - 6.521
1/8 - 10.142 @ 66.94
1/4 - 15.803 @ 87.65
that was my best and last run. i know i can do better coz i hit the rpm limiter on 2nd and the nose of the car went down hard, so i know i lost time there. my freind with his csvt did a 15.5 @ 79mph i think, but he beat the hell out of his, like there's no tomorrow. still slower than i expected. can a stock svt go 15.1-2?? it turned out that i had to launch at 4k rpm with slipping the clutch and shifting after red line...and before i never went near the red line. i always shifted ar 6500rpm...i guess i don't want to change my tranny again. maybe i should be more abusive...

You had a pretty good 60' time, considering street tires and stock diff/suspension. I was leaning more towards shifting being the reason for the 15.8  , but was going to give you the benefit of the doubt that the weather just sucked that bad. You get better with every trip to the track, so better luck next time! Mark

330' - 6.968
1/8 - 10.556
MPH - 68.54
1000' - 13.628

the first time i ran my svt at the track i ran a 16.32. I was pretty dissapointed until i saw my friends time, he drives a moded 03 nissan sentra spec V. He was only turning high 15.9's and a 16. Usually he runs in the 15.1 range. We were racing head first into a 40 mph headwind from an approaching storm though. Havnt been back in 6 mos so i dont have my slips anymore.
