Someone give me some tips. It'll launch fine on the street, but once I get to the track it bogs its ass of in first and second gear, and then runs like a turd the rest of the time.

Blah, can guarentee just reving to 1.7-2k rpm's will drop your 60ft down some...given you don't dump the clutch. Just doing that instead of launching from 800 rpm's improved my 60ft's by .2sec on average.

like someone earlier said earlier with the suspension. If your remember which i never do, fill your rear tires up an extra 10-15 psi and drop your front to 25 unless you already did. also DODGE THE WATER BOX. don't burn out and keep those tires dry.

Pff on dodging the waterbox James! Drove right through that crap at Hartford and cut like 7 2.2 runs in a row :P Loved watching the Integra and VW there though keep lightning those street tires up everytime. Was fun to watch...till they started racing =[
