Test and Tune

[Rich Deede----TOOL FAN <rdeed@udel.edu>]

Hi everyone, 
I finally brought my car to the race track this past weekend to find out
what my car can do in the 1/4 mile.  Fist of all my car is an 87 16v with
132,000 miles.  My engine mods include K&N, custom air intake, magna flow
cat back exhaust, techtonics fuel enrichment, and a 2H tranny.  I have
never run my car before so I wasn't sure what exactly to expect or how
exactly to launch properly, but I think I faired decently.  Here is what I
did in my best run of the day(I happen to beat a 92 GTi 16v with mods
during this race=)

Reaction Time= .687
60ft=          2.407
1/4 mile=      16.213@
mph=            85.10mph      

I think I can get a better launch next time and hopefully I can crack in
to the 15's.  Has anyone else run their cars?  What times did you get?

Just thought I'd share,
Rich
87 16v
