UPDATE!

I have some updates for this, nothing major I suppose but there are some nice improvments that I'm happy about. I still have more improvement to go but obviouslly things are going better.

I've since installed the Mopar STS and now the Prothane Race inserts, and they've helped me improve my times.

Reminder that previous I was running consistant 14.5s with a couple of 14.4s with high 2.3s and 2.4s for 60fts pretty crappy obviouslly.

NEW BESTS

With the addition of the Mopar STS
2.371 - 14.271@98 - 9.329@81

Mopar STS + Top MM insert
2.391 - 14.249@99 - 9.334@81 - 0-60mph: 5.6 (previous best 5.7)

Mopar STS+ Both MM inserts + 20psi in tires
60FT: 2.286
330: 6.127
1/8: 9.232@81
1000: 11.887
1/4: 14.165@98


Heres a GTECH chart graphing each improvement

Getting closer to what I would consider respectable times now. Also I guess since these are runs on regular old back roads you could expect a slightly better time on the track.

As far as the STS and inserts they're great. The STS helped a lot in shifting, it's so much easier to shift fast now. And the inserts I don't believe helped times directly on their own but they without a doubt help you put the power to the ground. Unfortuantely the tires don't follow suit particularly in 2nd gear as it leaves a good 10-15ft patch of rubber on the 1-2 shift lol. But I didn't experience any hop at all with both inserts in. I really like how it feels now, very solid.


Also want to say thanks to anyone thats given me some help with this. I'm starting to get the hang of it now.

Nice, Andy. Not too bad for street. VHT will definitely improve that so expect a bit better for sure.
