    BTW, reaction time has nothing to do with ET ;)

      I hate it when I go to the track and everyone's like, "You need to work on your R/T". They don't get that I'm just trying to learn how to launch the car.....As for your time, like Shodown said, that's pretty decent for a stock car. I know I ran a 15.3 with a bolt-on & cam'd car last time, but I had horrible tires and no tune.

                      common guys lets stay on topic here...those are pretty good times for a near stock car...always room for improvement though, the more info people have the easier it is to help someone out...

                      Like already stated R/T has nothing to do with your 1/4 run, only matters in a heads up race....if you wanna get a good R/T, leave on the last yellow light, or when the second yellow is going out, not when the light turns green.
                      This of course all depends on how deeply you are staged, but you should still be ok leaving on the last yellow regardless....practice a little.

                        At bare minimum you need to post your 60'...that's the starting point for where you get the most improvement.

                        Posting 1/8th et and mph is also a good indication of power you're making on the top end to see if your car is running like it should be.

                        It's all very important :)

                          I am being on topic. The OP is asking if his times are good, but has given vastly insufficient information to make a determination either way. We don't know if that 15.4 is coupled to a 2.25 60', or a 1.8 60'; if it's the former, then his car is running amazingly well, if it's the latter, there's something terribly wrong with his car. But we'll never know, unless he gives us complete information. Right now, everyone who's said something, is just making baseless guesses with no technical backing or support
