For what its worth. Via an in car GPS based tracking application.

I was able to pull a 0-60mph in 6.0sec flat ( with moderate wheel spin in 1st ) and a 1/4 mile in 15.0sec @ 91mph .. ( forgot to take traction control off, can probably pull off 14.8sec on a good launch )

Both runs were done with 1/4 tank of gas 89 octane. Its also pretty chilly here. 45*F at the time of testing.

I did a 15.0 at the track when my car was completely stock and it had more in it so your pretty close

The traction control killed me. Soon as 1st grabbed and the tires started to spin a bit, it killed my power :| I'm thinking, a clean launch and having traction control off, the car should pull high 14's all day.
Yup only issue is the car heat soaks very easily. Im curious where my car stands now but sadly my local strip got closed over the winter.
Did another run. Fiancé was in the car with me. 15.0 @ 92mph. Still have yet to hit 14s lol maybe if I were solo that run :)

Every 100 lb. off the car is a tenth off the time. With the setup you have you should be already in the 14's. What's your MPH and 60 foot time??

I'm using an Android application ( speed view )

It triangulates your location via gps satellites and so far seems pretty accurate, I usually have it finding and locking on up to 7 at any given time. As soon as it detects the car isn't moving. It allows you to click ( record 1/4 mile time ) than as soon as it detects any movement (literally down to a cm) it starts to record up to 1320ft. Gives your time/speed.

My run last night, with 3/4 tank of gas an my finance' in the car. I pulled 15.0 sec @ 92mph. ( no crazy clutch drop, because these stock all season give out WAY too easy. I did maybe a 2k clutch slip ) Im sure if I had better tires, and no one else in the car, I could shave it down a few more tenths of a second.
Might have to try this app. What setup do you have Triton?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codesector.speedview.free

once in the application, click the "graph" at the bottom of the screen and it will bring you to the page with record 0-60 and 1/4 miles times..
My app is free and doesn't require the purchase of a bluetooth OBDII dongle. So if someone is just looking for 60mph times and 1/4 mile times. The freebee SpeedView app should work just fine.

Not saying your application wont work, but importmonkey did inquire with what application I was using. ;)
I wonder just how accurate these things are. And for those of you that pulled a 15 1/4 mile are you manual or auto? Same for the 0-60.
Manual
My cars auto and I did a 15 flat stock at the drag strip

Looks like it comes down to driving technique. have heard reports of 1/4`s in 14.8-15.9 and 0-60 from 6.5 to 7.8
I don't think it's driving technique, but driving experience.
Just ordered an Injen SRI, hopefully that will nudge me down into the 14's with a proper launch :) although I might be limited to these cruddy tires.. we'll see.

When you do get the intake please do this on the drag track. It whole different experience and plus safer too.

How else would you get an official time slip with your 60 ft and trap speeds?
can some people with time slips post there 60 foot times, and 1/8 mile times, my previous car I only got to do 1/8th mile and would like to compare.
