1/4 mile times
Just wondering what kind of times I could expect with my minutely upgraded 98 rs. I have CAI, Stromung catback, and Borla header. I was thinking maybe high 15s??? Anybody have anything to add?

I have almost the same setup as for as power mods, and I think it depends on the launch and how much clutch you still have. For me, I ran 16.1-3 all day at the track the first time I took it. I was running the same times on the G-Tech consistantly untill I had my clutch replaced under warranty. I didnt realize how bad it was, after that I touched 15.5-6 with a Sub 2 second 60 ft times on a few occasions, but usually 15.8 to 16.1 is an average.
I think I will be able to touch in the low 15's with a track pipe, and a lightend -pulley, and in the mid 15's on average.

2001 2.5 RS-
Last year, I ran a 15.005 with just an Injen intake. Since then I added the items below. My stock clutch was toast after last year so while there, i put in a new lightweight flywheel. I found it harder to launch with the light weight flywheel (less enertia from the motor to give momentum from a stand still), so with stock flywheel I know I can run quicker.
Injen intake, Borla header, ApexI N1 catback, Perrin Pulley, Exedy street clutch, Exedy Lightweight Flywheel (the flywheel makes it harder to launch - less enertia). Stock weight.
60'--------1.976
330'------6.009
1/8-------9.406 at 71.85 mph
1000'----12.384
1/4--------14.910 at 89.17 mph
Also, my friend with a 98 with just an injen cai ran a 15.5 IIRC.

Thanks guys. Just a good launch, and pretty hard driving. I have since gotten new tires, Toyo T-1s, and ran a couple 1.96 60', a slight improvement, and consistant high 14.9s I will be doing my 60k mile tune up in the next few weeks. Hopefully that will net me a tenth or so. And on that 14.910 run, I say stock weight, but I have about 50 lbs of dynamat, 2 big jl amps, amp rack, 2 4 gauge amp runs, and 3 sets of rcas, and an optima battery. I removed the spare tire and jack, so I was actually a little heavier then stock weight.

Finally got on the track. I ran, at best, 16.276 (missing 4th momentarily) at 81 mph. My two others were both 16.367 @ around 83 each. So i guess I'm a little disappointed, going by what you all said. I wonder what a solid stock time is. Cause I'm guessing my mods haven't helped me much. Taken away torque, gained some hp maybe. Surely my clutch wouldn't give me over a half second. Any other suggestions?

Do you have any more information about your runs? 60ft time, 330ft time, 1/8th mile speed and time.
