Went up to watch my brother at h.s. drags today... I let him race my GSX, he had fun but missed 2nd gear in the first round....
durring time trials he had a sweet.. but real hard launch, I think he side steped the clutch at 6000+ rpm, the car squated hard for a fraction of a second then got squirley and he raped the big V8 next to him....it was funny, the crowd gasped when he launched and people ran to the wall to watch :). It was his best run of the day, 14.6 with a 1.9 60ft
I thought it looked cool, but told him not to launch like that again.... the car is my daily driver :)
lots of DSM's up there... must have been 20 or more.... the only other "fast" one that I saw dialed a 14.5

I saw your brother race it was great I got a pic of that launch also. He sure did use that awd there it jumped something serious. He was my fav 1st gen racing he was damn good at driving it. I was mad when he lost at the elimanations. I wanted to talk to him but he was not by the car when I looked under the hood. Funny thing was I knew you were from rmdsm cuz I saw it when you bought it. Also how bout that 3000gt vr-4 and evo. They were quick when they had there good runs.

Did you guys see my runs in the green '94 talon?
I didn't do the time trials because I had to take off, but I was there until about 4-5pm. I hit:
13.575 @ 100.72
13.556 @ 100.58
both with 1.9 60's

Add another pound or two or three of boost and you may need a 2600lb clutch sometime since the 2100 won't last too long and they really start to slip if you have to run rounds back to back;I know since that was my first clutch back in '98 and only lasted one season and that was when I was only in the low 14s. My present 2600 is almost through it's 3rd season and I run it alot.
My car will generally stay under under 13.5 and I have still have the stock IC,original MAF and no ported parts but running 105 octane does help.
What do your AFC setting look like?

Ooops,sorry I didn't read about your boost leaks. :(
Those really hurt performance.
