I just started racing too and i have got faster everytime i go. I have gone from a 15.4 to a 14.9 just from improved driving. All i have done to my car is AEM CAI. So expect to get better. It just takes practice.

First time I went with my R I did 15.0 with shitty 3000 rpm launching.
Going back this week end, stock ITR. Might slap on a set of R compound tires to see the difference.

Id like to do 14.6

well my best 60 ft is 2.25. I dont know if that is good but i usually launch between 4k and 5k rpms. I vary it everyso often too see what happens.

launch a bit higher (idealy around 5500-6500) for the better times... you'll ideally want to spin through your 60's but not too much further.

My best time was 14.878@95.8 in 40 degree weather @ 1100ft. stock minus an intake. Most of the night i was running 15.0s, 14s came right before I left. I went back a few months ago and couldnt pull better than a 15.1 in 80 degree weather, 75% hum. and bald ass tires. Just goes to show you how well tires and good weather help. My average for that nice was 15.3s

btw my best ever 60ft was a 2.369

14.4 stock and a 2.2 60ft. Launched at 5500, barely spun just feathered but as soon as you feel traction nail it. I had the spare, jack, passenger seat and just about everything else not bolted down removed. Tire pressure on Nitto NT450's was 21.5 PSI. Also I had less than a 1/4 tank of gas and the top of the intake box was removed. Conditions were 70ish with high humidity, but elevation since I'm in FL was no more than 50 feet. It just takes practice. Feel the car and know when to put the hammer all the way down.
