    I'd put the stock ECU in it.

    My old 1g ran 13.5 @ 95 w/ a 8.8 1/8 mile with exhaust a UICP pipe and a boost controller. By the end of the summer I had it, it was running 8.5 1/8 miles but I was back in Minot so it never made it back down to the 1/4.

      I take mine out every night to avoid that issue.

      I am inattentive, and lack discipline.

        I am too for the most part, but that is a little investment that i would like to protect.

          my 14.3 was at 96.7 mph, so is that about right or what does that mean. does that mean I suck at driving?

                If you're on a stock clutch, and can't launch very hard then thats probably the biggest factor in you running 14.3. Figure for .1 sec faster to the 60 foot mark, normally will net you about .2 sec faster in the 1/4 mile. So depending on your launching ability, clutch holding or slipping, and tires spinning from being wet, you could be right on par.

                DSMLink is pretty good for a cheaper standalone style engine management. It's still not a full stand alone, but it is extremely easy to use and has tons of support.

                  I don't know what the 60ft was, I didn't keep the timeslips 😞 I'm going to try and focus on getting off the line better this weekend, hopefully my times will improve as a result. That time was from my first time out at the track so I'm sure I was n00bing it up something fierce.

                  The way I figure, DSM link, actually having a dedicated user interface can't be any harder than what I'm doing now, and god knows theres more support. It of course has the ability to change maps but the real bonus is that it contains all of the little addons that you can put into the stock program, except without inputing code, editing hex, or remapping memory addresses. A definate plus. I think an advantage over the other standalone solutions is that DSMlink is made for one car specifically, even between the 1g and 2g, so there is no fiddling around or anything, it just works.

                      I was dumping it. Ridin Rails gave me some tips that I plan to implement. I'll try no lift on 3rd and 4th as well.

                        Don't no lift on 3rd and 4th and don't shift at redline when shifting into 3rd or 4th gear. The little 14b turd doesn't make power all the way up top.

                          ^That's true. If you are trying to improve your time just buy more go fast parts. I'd also look into getting it professionally tuned.

                            I usually slipped it around 5.5k and shifted about 6.8-7k. Seemed to work about the best for me.

                              the 14b works, slowvo on here ran 12.1 with a 14b back in the day. You'd be better off putting the stock ECU back in the car w/ the stock fuel maps, etc and shifting before redline. I'd shift closer to 6500 rpm in the higher gears.

                                ^slowvo probably didn't have a stock motor though too did he? And I'd guess he's running aem

                                    ^12.1 1/8 mile maybe haha. I don't believe anybody ran a 12.1 1/4 mile on a stock motor with a 14b.

                                        O I believe you can run a 12.1 with a 14b. Shit I think people are into the 10s with 14b's now. But not on a stock motor. I guess it comes down to "what is stock." To me stock is how the car comes from the factory 🙂
