at this point u might want some weight reduction. if u launched off the limiter and then bogged id say ur car weighs too much and the engine cant pull it properly outta the hole. the other option is to step up to a motor with more torque. just a thought, i know money doesnt grow on trees but it would sure help alot at this point.

That's not that bad. I ran a 14.78@ 93mph pulling a 2.0 60' on Azenis @ 20psi and that was in a 99si w/ stock clutch, bolt-ons and mild weight reduciton. You should be able to cut some 1.8-1.9's with those slicks. Keep at it man.

Good job man. Are they letting people run slicks at that street legal night at Firebird? I would love to run slicks at nice and late at night when its cold out. I want to break 13s this year. I can usually hit 1.9s and some 1.8s with my MT 20x8x14s there. I have an MSD dual stage rev limiter though.

yea i dont have enough torque to pull me out of the hole. i weigh 2100 with out me. doesnt matter casue im selling the car i just wanted 1 last run in boise to beat my best of 14.80 so now im selling it. yea the midnights there you have to pass tech and have a full exhaust. slicks are ok. im selling my 20x8x14's with wheels for 324 plus shipping if anyone wants them.

yea ridinmyhonda i like your car dude!! looking good!!!! you should buy my slicks

any my buddy with a 00si with I/H/E best time with me driving on street tires was 15.4 with 2.4 60' with wheelhop. he has minor weight reduction

Guess Im bragging but a couple weekends ago I got 14 runs in at the local track.

Could have been more but thats enough I thought.

glad I din't drive 2.5 hours for 2 runs. I thought people would be getting a ton of runs. Figures though. They never give the compacts any runs now. When I first started going to Firedbird I'd get 8-12 runs a day. Now it's 2 runs and then brackets start. Pisses me off.
