I think you mean can you break the 11 second barrier. BTW, I don't think those trap speeds are high enough to get into the 10's. Someone else can chime in though.

No, those et's are about right for what your running as your mph. 10s would be more like 127-132 mph

very very light car and a hell of a 60 ft time might be possible

A buddy of mine ran 10.78@123 EG chassis H22 drag car

Hence torque of the H22 matters too.. not only HP!!!!

I've seen cars with good torque numbers run way better times then cars with high PEAK hp. Very true!!!

you are probably getting a 1.6-1.7 60ft. If you are getting 1.8-1.9 60ft, you are probably losing some topend power. So I'd say this will be the very best unless you are REAR DRIVE.... Very nice time though!!!

With 400 WHP as in your signature?

B.T.W., how much does your car weigh?

I don;t think it is possible at the weight of an EK hatch, unless you REALLY REALLY hook up with a 1.5 60' time but still the MPH is low for 10's IMO. My buddy Freddy who is also local to us here went 10.75@131mph in his CRX with 440whp though. He now makes 515whp but his Crower exhaust cam snapped. Brian from Millenium went 10.75@136mph in an EG Hatch, Grey from Millenium went 10.92@132mph in a 91 Integra. Shad yours and my tuner went 10.44@144mph in his EG hatch last year, this year his old 99 Si Coupe went 10.9x@140+mph breaking trannies. I went 11.20@132mph, shitty track conditions and slipping clutch. Good luck, your set up is impressive.

Do you have a time slip from the 11.3 you ran?
Post up the times from that run if you can.

Sorry to discourage you but looking at your short times and your slip, with the power and weight your making its gona be reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeely though to hit a 10.

Are you running a pritty small turbo?

that time slip still has a ton left in it. Get the suspension and slick combo figured out and you should go 1.6's.. If you don't have a scramble hooked up you should hook one up, a 1.6 60' and hitting high boost in 2nd you will probably go 4.6 in the 330'... The rest is just power/gearing and hitting the shifts. It's definitly possible.

After seeing the timeslip, I am seeing your point Chris! With a low 1.6 60' which will save him .2 in the 1/8 and possibly .3-.4 in the 1/4, 10's are there dude! Sugar Cookie teaching you well!

i ll be doing some suspension udjustments, and run less air pressure, spray the intercooler
we were running 11psi in the tires i know we can take it down to 8-9 psi should make a difference
ill be happy if it runs 10.9999999
thanks for the comments guys

Hence torque of the H22 matters too.. not only HP!!!!

I've seen cars with good torque numbers run way better times then cars with high PEAK hp. Very true!!!

I've gone 11.01 @ 124 with a touch over 400 hp in a 2550lb street car. The 60' on that run was a mid 1.7. Decent, but I've done better. Stock JDM H22, 14 psi. There's definitely a bit more ET with the power you're making. On a really good run, you can hit a 10 as the car sits right now (hp wise).
