Yeah, thats a pretty good time for a begginer.

Jackalope's times are much better/lower than average. + he has a ported and polished head. so it will be a while till you see numbers like that.

Keep it up. and practice launching. It's tricky in a front wheel drive car and a manual tranny.

It would also help if we knew what kind of car you drive. You have nothing in your profile. I mean... if you drive an automatic 2200 then that time is great!. but if your in a 5 speed with either an Eco or a 2.4 then that is pretty much an average time for our cars.

If you want to go fast in the 1/4 buy a v8 or a turbocharged import. Spending money on a car to make it less slow defeats the point at least in my eyes.
Just consider this, do you really want to sacrifice the reliability you have and still not be able to compete with faster cars that are completely stock? Because there are a whole lot of cars that easily run in the low 14s stock which can be put well into the 13s without putting a hole in you're wallet.

Im sure you know all of this though.

Well the first thing you NEED to do is ditch the 17's when you go to the track. they can't get the traction that a 15 can + they useualy are heavier. Find some nice steelies and drop the tire presure to about 20 - 25 psi. that should help. At least you have a 5 spd so you can launch around 3 grand. You keep working on it and you'll be faster before too long.
