Just wanted to share my drag time and get some comparisons and opinions. Sorry to disgrace the 240 by taking it to a drag strip, but its about all i got around my little redneck town lol.

60 ft.- 2.2789
1/8 mile- 10.1886 @ 69.618

Yea, thats right, to top it all off all we gots a 1/8 mile track.
Anywho, mods are as follows

'97 ka rebuilt about 6,000 miles ago with supertech 10.5:1 pistons
s13 cams
aem cai
ebay headers, test pipe, exhaust, and short shifter (go ebay, lol)
nismo motor mounts
emissions and ac belt removed (if that counts)
carbon fiber hood, fenders, lighter bumpers (no front bumper support either)
I also had probley close to 100 lbs of junk in the car (tools, parts, etc.) and wheels that are about 5 lbs. heavier than stock each.
I kept popping the clutch off the line causing it to bog and shifting at redline too, which I know didnt help, since the car falls on its face after 6000.(Tach is messed up)

Since then ive cleaned the car out, done some real weight reduction, and put an unorthodox crank pulley on it and it feels like a whole new motor. I was going to go back the other day, but I went to the store to get cigs and a cop pulled me and gave me a ticket for my exhaust (took out the silencer for the drags), defective tires (put stockies back on for drags), and seatbelt (which is messed up). I explained that I was going to the drags before he ticketed me. So he writes me up, comes back over, and decides to talk to me about racing

Wow, sorry to ramble, but I just wanted to see if this is about where I should be with those mods. Mostly all I see on here is 1/4 mile times. So lets see some 1/8 mile times here. And suggestions of course. And if you must, flame away, I like a debate and can stand my ground.
