94, 101k miles, bone stock except no air silencer/reservoir, and sensor lowered.
Best ET: 14.975 @ 95.9 mph.
Best trap: 14.99 @ 97.3 mph.
Manual shifting usually saved me about 2 tenths - otherwise i was between 15.01 and 15.1. I ran 13 times, then figured I had beaten the car enough. I am scared to push the tranny too hard. I must say I am quite pleased with the car.

why do you guys manual shift your car, I have the j-mod and my shifts at redline every time and shifts hard, why would i need to manually do the same thing myself?

if you'll notice, i wrote that manually shifting my car saved me 2 tenths of a second. so that would be why.
also, I don't have the j mod. I'll be putting in a transgo later this summer.

Nice times, do you still have stock ignition (what wires and plugs do you have) and what were your 60 foot times?
