was a embarassing 14.4 to 14.5. I was heat soaking very badly, and we were both doing 2.2-3 60 footers
At the time our cars would be roughly the same. My only cooling mods were a Cobra Heat Exhanger in line w/ my stock H/E on my lil 2.7" pulley. Would take him by a car or two from the line, then back half he would catch up because my car was heat soaking so bad in 3rd gear "160+ degree intake air temps".
A lil while back, I went to the 1/8 mile w/ all my current mods, wasn't getting my 60' down "clutch got to hot on me, and kept slipping". So I had to peddle the gas, and still was trapping 2-3 mph faster than he was, and no I wasn't spinning off the line.
My car is definately faster than a STOCK TC now. Modifications are on page 1 for an explanation.
They are fast, yes you will need at least APR stg1 to keep up with one. But they are beatable, you just gotta mod right.

Unfortunately a aquantance of mine who has a SS/TC has left the country for a few months for his work. And I won't be able to race him at the next event. Though I will go up against a friend of mine w/ APR stg 2 on 91 octane mode. Should be a great race; it will be his first time out at the 1/4. He feels very confident he'll launch well... I just said GL lol - Though he may just learn to launch the car properly... All I know is, when I first went to the track, it was as if I had to learn how to launch all over again.
what does/did your car trap? Do you know what year and what mods the APR stg 2 has? You should walk all over him if hes basic stage 2, the 91 oct map is kinda weak too compared to just 93.
And it's funny because everyone thinks there going to be great their first time out, until they get there and do the worst driving of their life:bellyroll:
I don't think any basic stage 2's will give you trouble, one with supporting mods and a fuel pump "stage 2+" might give you a race though.
