I have no tach... maybe i should get mine fixed... i had a SOHC do i have to replace it or is there an adapter to make it read millivolts.
Even IF someone runs the same times as you do doesn't mean your car isn't going fast, you MUST look at the whole timeslip to see if the person knows how to drive or not. For instance, if your car and another car runs 13.7, and yours pulls a 2.0 60' @94mph, and the other guy does a 2.5 @105mph, that means he fucked up, NOT that your car has "no balls" up top. This was the case when i was racing my dyno guys 03 M5, both of us were running 13.2-13.4 but my mph was 111 (2.4 60') and his was 108 (2.1 60'), when i got my slicks and lsd i finally ran my 12.3 (1.7 60').

Basically you can't look at MPH alone, alot of other factors come into play.

Thats wierd... it seems that if a person has a better launch the car would have more momentum and would have a higher 1/4 speed... but you right cuz now that i looked at it i hit 98mph once....
And did the LSD help alot with launches? cuz 1.7 60 is crazy... AWD territory..

LSD and street slicks helped me BIGTIME. Lets put it this way, BEFORE i put my tires/lsd on i was only running low-mid 13's @108mph, once the tires/lsd were installed i now pull low 12's @111. Those two parts were well worth EVERY penny i spent on them.
