Nice 60ft.
You'll probably knock me outta my spot soon. I'm kicking myself for not making it back to the qtr after reaching my peak of modhood. But work/life just got in the way of the 100 mile weeknight trips to the track. Not to mention all the breakdowns I had.
Looks like I've retired at 14.56. :sadbanana:

I want to go sub 14.00 as the car sits (well sort of how it sits). That's the goal.
I just need the right day and a nasty launch. I'll prolly have to add a diff to get sub 14.00. But yeah, I'm gonna port the IM and add a diff sometime down the road.
But that's all. I love the car as it is and I don't plan on getting too crazy with it.
Lol at Amsoil and dip.
For the record so it's available to any lurking Amsoil dealers. The car has north of 50 1/4 mile passes. No lift shifting every pass. Using Redline fluid and I've had no issues.

With the slicks, you probably won't see much gains with the a locking diff. The stock diff will even distribute to both wheels, so long as neither is slipping. With slicks you should ideally have no slippage on launch.
There is of course the issue of not getting both to burnout well with the stock diff. But I'm not sure your 60' would suffer much from having on cold slick.
An LSD won't hurt, but it may not be the greatest return on the dollar to E.T. ratio.
Porting the IM, however, yeah..... You're gonna wanna do that.

A little slip is preferable. I got the perfect amount of launch slip/ non-bog on my best run.
FWIW, I learned through trial and error, that I bogged harder when I tried to float the rpm waiting for the tree to hit. I did much better waiting til the lights started to drop, and then revving up and dumping.

I feel like this is kind of slow for the mods I have done.

The tune alone should afford you below the 15's. Do you have much track experience with your sonic? Have you read all the advice in this thread?
IMO, the 1.4T manual Sonic is not the easiest to launch. Getting your 60' down to 2.3 or better will improve you runs greatly.

I haven't read the entirety of this 93 page bear of a thread. And I have absolutely no track experience at all aside from my passes I made today. I'm fairly certain I'm just an awful driver.

Don't get down on yourself. I imagine you had a raging good time. And that should be the focus over how well you did.
A 15.8sec qtr from a 1.4L car is nothing to roll eyes at.
You really should try to read up in this thread if you plan on going back. Step one is changing your forum settings to show 40 posts per page. This thread is only 24 pages long for me, and makes long threads much less of a pain to browse.
You will find tricks that will knock tenths off. Did you turn your t/c off or remove your ABS fuse? That should be #1.
Make sure your rear tires are fully inflated 38-40psi is good.
What rpm did you shift at? Seems that 5,500 in 1st and then 5,800 for the 2nd shift has been best for most.
You shouldn't even be shifting into 4th.
All these things add up to 1/10ths shaved off. Realistically, with a little practice, you should be down to 15.0's in no time.

I didn't pull the fuse because I wasnt sure which to pull because I saw two fuses labeled abs. so I just shut off tc. But I know pulling the fuse is more effective. I didnt play with tire pressure. the shift points were mostly dead on where I was shifting.
Could my plug gap affect this that dramatically? I havent checked it, but I have noticed a miss first thing in the morning.
