Default 16.009 Second 1/4 mile?!?!

I know i wasn't going to be running no sweet 12's or anything, but i was expecting atleast low 15's but no. Even with my best launch and a Response time of ~.095 my best time was a 16.009 second @ 86mph. Now i did however have my girlfriend in the passenger seat, but she's 105lbs...

WTF! Is that normal? Something has to be wrong. I ran the exact set up listed below.

Any ideas?

Our cars aren't fast. I wouldn't expect much more than what you ran.

Although, for every 100lbs of weight in the car, you need an extra 15 horse power to make up the difference. So tell your girl friend to wait outside next time, and you should break into high 15s.

The cat-delete and dump valve won't make much of a difference on the stock ko3. But if you were to up to a ko4, you would see much more noticeable gains, and be well into the mid 14s.

I got a ride in Emil's B5 at Renn Art last evening. Holy Turbos Batman! Save your $ for a BY. Unbelieveable difference from my stock B6!!

I bet that B5 would run 12s or 13s easy.

These guys at Renn=Art know what they're doing. I made an appointment to start modding next week!!
