hi,i have a 96 integra rs.last may i went to the track and ran a 15.5 with just a intake,so this may i got a 4-1 dc header and only ran a 15.7,the only thing i can come up with is the heat facter.this was the same track as last year.what do you guys think??

 

Are you baking cookies at the light? Maybe all you need is some practice with your reaction times.

 

what did you expect, honestely? 2-3 ponies at best isn`t going to change much. Plus, there are a billion other factors. Start w/ comparing your 60 foot et`s.

 

this might help last year this year with the header on
R/T .929 R/T .945
60'2.421 60' 2.372
330 6.612 330 6.610
1/8 10.071 1/8 10.141
mph 70.94 mph 69.64
1000 13.061 1000 13.169
1/4 15.594 1/4 15.746
mph 88.65 mph 87.53

 

Im guessing either 1) you gained weight 2) you lost power or 3) it was alot hotter @ the track this time.

 

just your driving style. Your 60ft and 1/8th mile time was actually faster with the header on. If you take the 1/8th mile from the header time slip and put the 1/8th-1/4 mile from before together, you might have had a 15.4, 15.3 in the car. U just need to drive it more.

 

it is impossible to compare mods with such little track time.
Wait until you have had the car down 20 + times before you start making comparisons

Takes practice and practice.

 

60's are they key. Learn how to launch it

 

Naptime at the tree.

 

Why do people post about R/T and sleeping at the tree? Who cares is he bracket racing or heads up racing? Anyways man it looks to me like your car was quicker through the 1/8 but lost a little top end. Do you still have your stock exhaust and stock cat on? That's probably what is restricting your top end right there especially if you've added and header and are despening exhaust gas's more then a stock exhaust manifold then bam hits the stock cat and exhaust. More then likely though it was just temperature or track conditions or lane choice.

THANK YOU... damn... who really cares about R/T? Personally I couldn't care less who's beside me at the lights, the race is against myself and what I ran before. R/T isn't measured in the final ET reading anyway.
