P.S. What was your speed through the traps in the Box?

on the 14.70 second run the mph was 94.67 mph 60 foot time was 2.21

Also as I stated above I tried brake torquing it and the car wanted to drive right through the braking so I didnt try it at the actual starting line.

2002 Boxster S / 6-speed

My best 1/4 mile so far was a 13.9x @104.xx. This was last year, and I am expecting much lower times. I had massive wheelhop, and could only manage 2.1 60 foots. Horrible 60's for a RWD car with an engine in the back!

With such high traps, I could run much faster. I have learned some things looking at the various loggers while running:

Shift no later than 6500 rpm. Above that, forward momentum really decreases. My launches should be better this year with replaced / upgraded rear suspension parts. I also just put an Aluminum Flywheel on, and am waiting to test my new launch control system at the track.

Oh, my mods were pretty basic: UP pulleys, headers, Borla, de-snorkle, & better motor mount at the time.

It has a video of a run vs a 13.1 Vette there also.
