Hey guys...I was just informed about this site so I figured I'd introduce myself...

My name is Dan, I'm from Wilmington Delaware...currently I'm driving a 2004 Saturn Ion Redline. I just figured I'd say hey, and wait for it to warm up to get out to some meets. Here's a quick pic of my car...let me know what you guys think.

Haha yeahhhhh, the springs I want aren't in production again for another month or so...but trust me it's on the list lol. But I live right off of Naamans road. Or Foulk. Or Grubb. depends on where you're coming from lol.

So far I have intake, header, exhaust, GM Stage 2, torque dampener.

I ran consistant 13.8s at Cecil with 2.4 60's on my old tires...unfortunately I didn't get to run it again before they closed when I got my new wheels Tires...

I'm really just hoping to break mid-13s and call it quits. I've got a 2.8" pulley on the way, so I'm hoping that and the tires will do the trick.

Well, the factory pulley is 3.3" but I've got the GM Stage 2 pulley on there which is 3.1" and my trap speeds are usually around 104, give or take a 1/2 mph.

Haha trust me, I use it that my advantage all the time. If I race somebody and win, then wow, they just got beat by a Saturn...but if I race somebody and lose, who's gonna go around telling their friends they beat a Saturn?

It's a win/win siutation lol. Anyway, I'm pretty sure I saw (err, heard) you by the gas stations (four corners) on Foulk and Silverside...

Wow. Thats pretty fast. Was that street tires or DR's? I'm assuming with that pulley you are around 13-14psi? Does the stage 2 eliminate the high RPM boost bleed?

I"m going to have to take the Saturn to the track after I get the new clutch installed. I've never really run it because the stock clutch goes weeee after the first 30 feet, but i've got the 2.8" pulley, motor mounts, suspension, HP Tuners, and i'm about to do the Exedy clutch. Once I get that clutch tighted up I think the car will really fly.
