yeah guys my very first car and driving stick wasnt a great run i still till this day dont know how to propperly launch this car nor know if this track is anny good. Bone stock i ran 15.9 spinning like crazy and then with exhaust sri tork pipe i ran 15.4 still spinning only one run and i forgot to turn raction controll off..... Im going to try to learn how to drive better and esp launch i feel is my biggest prob also could have heatsoak due to the long waiting with car on and hood closed but gotta learn somehow. I will deff download that app to see what it says i run

This was a run not to long ago don't remember my mods but i do remember I left traction control on cause wanted to do a few runs of each to compare but it was the only run I got to do that night :( they closed the track due to leak :(
I ran the 15.4 couldn't get off the line for shit :( I blame me and traction control lol

Is a 15 sec flat about average?

I love the look of the VT (from the front at least) but I'm not sure how they run.
Really depends on weather and driver cause numbers go from 14.8-16 so whether ppl are lying about the 14 or just better condition s and drivers I know I'm not the best driver but practice makes perfect or at least better lol

We're all super cool in Louisiana :cool:

Yep, stock intercooler. Heat soak was an issue, but not as bad as it would have been with some other FMIC... Still waiting on Tork's upgrade IC.
What did ya do with your other fmic pm if you dint wanna post it I am curious

Sure it's possible. I inspected the core and it looked fine though. It's kind of hard to make a faulty intercooler core.
I mean I don't know much but sometimes things are just faulty have you spoke with the vendor?
