Wow. Seafoam is seriously the coolest stuff I've ever used in my car.

Don't take that lightly coming from me either, because I test EVERYTHING.

These were some times taken earlier today:
18.22 @ 73.4 <--- my first run, before I did the seafoam, was always the worst by a lot...
17.41 @ 78.7
17.37 @ 78.2
17.17 @ 80.6

Avg with stdev: 17.54 sec +- 0.46

This is with redline shifting and 87 octane power tuning.

Now this is the same setup with the seafoam treatment done:
17.11 @ 80.2
17.11 @ 80.2 (I kid you not... Identical time and trap speed...)
17.25 @ 79.3
17.18 @ 80.1
17.29 @ 78.9

Avg with stdev: 17.19 sec +- 0.08

Now, granted the average for the seafoam times is definately lower than the average before, that is not even the exciting part. The exciting part was the consistency that I got between times, way better than any other time I've ever done it. This means that my quarter mile times will fall between 17.11 seconds and 17.27 seconds 60% of the time. That is pretty good I'd say (especially if I take it to the track, consistent numbers means I can correctly guess my time more often).

Very excited about this stuff...

Pedal to the medal.

I'm using a g-tech to do my timing.

I basically sit in the middle of the road, 0 it out (the g-tech), and then just run the car from 0 to whenever the little thing starts flashing (around 80) lol...

I could probably do faster on a track revving the engine up, ect, but I want this to be a controlled test of the car, not driver skill...

Try doing a brake stall. Left foot on the brake, HARD...right foot on the gas. Put pressure on it 'till RIGHT before it spins. Then when you go, control the acceleration to maintain some semblance of traction.
