I got down to a 13.98 in my XT but it ran 14.7 as it came off the street, it now runs 14.9 straight off the street with a T5.

Those 7 tenths missing were a combination of weight, tyre and suspension setup. I swapped my 275/35/18 tyres for some 225/50/16 chasers, removed my passenger seats, spare wheel and front swaybar, then also removed my passenger headlight at the track.
Thanks mate, some ideas there I can have a play with, interesting that going with a more narrow tyre helped. I have 235/45/17 on at the moment.
