Default Correct QM Time?

hey guys, well a couple weeks ago i went up to sacramento to drag race.

now whats weird is the time i got. here goes

ls js supercharged, hks intake, dc headers.
the car is a 4door integra ls

reaction time .510
quarter mile time 15.5

i dont know if im driving bad but thats the best i could pull off was a 15.5 NO TIRE SPIN AT ALL, stock gsr's were keeping up with me, it was pretty pathetic.

i know i have more torque than them..

OH ALSO..... my rings were starting to go to. i just started to burn a little oil....

could the rings be the big factor?
thanks guys and gals

Your trap speed is indicative of the car's potential. So please post a trap speed The ET is the result, and we can't figure out much from that.

yep best indicator of power is the trap speed. It varies only a little.

Me with b18c in cx hatchback.
1st run: 14.8@97.2 mph (launched with MAD WHEELSPIN, all of 1st was just spinning out.)
2nd run: 14.2@98.3 (better launch, not much wheelspin)

Even though I burned my butt off on the first run, there was little difference between the two mph. Give up the mph and we shall help.

u mean your 60' time was 2.7 and trap at 89.5. The 60'time definetely can be improved around 2.2ish.

i apologize, i dont really know what my 60 foot time is, my car was running real bad, i was barely keeping up with gsr's,

i guess what my question is, do the rings take away that much power?
