Default first time with the B20vtec

This was my first time at the track since my swap and getting it tuned. Besides my tires and weight of the car is there anything else I should do to help?
r/t .890
60' 2.462
330' 6.765
1/8 10.279
MPH 71.97
1/4 15.647
MPH 92.34

It's a 97 civic coupe. Battery relocated to the trunk. Z10 radius rods, Neuspeed sport springs, Yok avid t4(I know) on GSR blades. Will 205/55/14 drag radials fit on the stock 14" steelies? And the tech inspec said I need a kill switch. Where's the best place to mount one? Thanks people. Speak freely

keep going to the track and get your launches down and learn how to hit them gears! you shouldn't be running a 15 second with a B20VTEC. My brothers Stock ITR with it misfiring bad topend still pulls 14.9 Goodluck later on down the road with your B20VTEC

Ah let's see... 85mm B20block with stock CTR head, the stock rusty JDM header, iceman intake, usdm itr tranny, and a apexi ws exhaust. I guess maybe i was being a little sissy on the tranny 'cause the CTR tranny I had had a broken lsd and i don't wanna break this one.

Another thing, why would they say you need a kill switch. At etown they dont even pop our hoods to look for the basics like battery tie down.

Yeah I don't know why the tech said that. I have been there before a few years ago with the sohc but the tech then just looked at me and wrote the #'s on the windshield.
