Whats up fellas, I'm looking for some opinions on my quarter mile times. There not official track times, their just times my livewire ts shows me and who knows how accurate that is. I have ran it a couple times and the livewire normally shows a quarter mile anywhere between 15.0 @ 95 or a 15.5 @ 95. I feel like a 95mph run should be in the low to mid 14s. My tires are a little bigger than stock idk if that makes a difference in mph. I have timed a video of my mine plenty of times and I stop it at about 92 to 94mph and its in the 14s, yall think that would be a little more accurate than the livewire?

You should hit a track and compare. Know that on a track they average the trap at the end while meters like the livewire do an instant reading. This means the mph on the livewire will read higher than at the track.

Yea no problem. If the livewire says 95, you will probably 93-94 at the track assuming it's like a G-tech meter is is fairly accurate.

Slightly lowered, Beltech sport shocks & struts & shackles.

Yes they are Hoosier slicks. Borrowed them from a friend to handle some "business" real quick.

Nice! Even with a mild drop, def. can tell the difference compared to mine with the 28" rear tires.
