Default first time at track ever

hey guys,

I went to the track last night, first run was 15.1 at 93. best of the night was a 14.5 at 93 my r/t's sucked pretty much till the last run i got a .08 r/t ill post the time slips later have to give all the credit to you guys, first time out and im pretty happy with it, with some practice i think i can get down to a 14.2 my highest trap was a 95.9 with a 14.6 et.

setup:

14b pushin 10psi
afc hack w/ dsm 450's
2.5 dp to obx cat to 2.25 exhaust
jrc 5" IC
Kuhmo ecesta *sp 16 inch tires on kosei k-1 rims
stock clutch
stock flywheel

it was gettin really hot at the end, have the stock radiator i did 3 runs, then i let it sit, did a run let it sit 5 10 mins, did a run. that about normal? thinkin about getting a bigger radiator. thanks again guys, comments opinions appreciated.

comments and suggestions would be welcomed

the best run felt like i spun the tires through first, but i got my best 60' and best overall time but lower mph. its hard to tell if the tires are spinning or they're like actually getting traction sometimes...i dunno weird lol thanks for all your guys help.

not bad at all
your 60' needs practice but at least they are consistant.

I'm no expert, but math wise if you cut your 60s down to 2.0 flat and the reaction time you nail, you'd dip 13s. Nice job though for the first time. Nothing to be ashamed of at all. I would say to get a bigger exhaust. 2 1/4 is tight for a turbo. Nice though, very well done. Congrats.

Not bad. You should be getting a bit more MPH (probably in the 96-99 range pretty easy)

But definetly not bad for your first time out.
