If you're rocking a daily, you better make your Accord a ******* drag car!

What were you thinking about buying?

It's not set in stone just yet, I'm researching insurance costs first. I can afford really anything [in a realistic price range], just don't know if I want to make that committment, haha!

But yes, the Accord will become gutted, caged and dragged the expletive out to kick the **** out of some 10 second passes, haha!

It says 15 is the lowest you can run them at, so prolly 15 pr 16 psi.

damn i always check your build up and always see progress, congrats.

i have a question though, when choosing a swap, why did you go with the single cam zc instead of the dual cam zc? their prices are similar and the dohc has a few more horses.

anyways looking forward to new times with radials/nitrous

Two words. Parts availibility. I wil probably end up building the motor in some form or another in the future and don't want to hae to fight it every step of the way.

I mean even the ARP's and the Cometic HG would have been a pain in the *** if I had the DOHC. I don't want to half-*** anything, and getting a bunch of parts that "fit with a little modding" doesn't appeal to me.

Thanks man. I am probably getting them mounted tomorrow.

remember, after you do your burnout, the pressure will increase due to the heat.

Gotcha. So, like 14-15 then. And I'll let out a little air after each run.
