Default Trying to Hook at the Track

Ive done a bit research, but still wanted to see if maybe there is something i may have missed.

Basically, im almost done with my 600WHP integra. I wanted to make sure when i go to the track, i get all the traction possible. I would hate to dump all this money into the motor, then spin the entire way down the track and get a 1/4 mile time of a 12.00!!!

With that said heres my list of Traction suporting mods....

Traction Bar

Full Suspension (Damper kit) Adjust accordingly

Slicks (Havent ordered) so Im curious to what size i should get on a 13" Lenso Drag wheel.

Thats basically all i know for right now....... anyone have any suggestion or parts i can purchase to help put the power to the ground....

what slick size are you looking at? What boost controller are u going to use? No matter what your still going to have to go to the track and get her dialed in, even if it does spin down the track.

Right now the only boost controller i have is a basic Turbonetics one. Should i upgrade, whats a good boost controller out right now? I thought they all did the same thing? Was basically up raise PSI.

And i'm looking into buying some M&H slicks. I already have the 13" Lensos, I'm just not sure at all, too what slick size i should buy.

Well having the right boost controller will help you with traction, it depends also what management your running where as hondata s300 has the gear dependent aem rpm vss dependent, NLR etc and so on it will play a big roll on traction. Do a little reseach on those maybe it will help you out.
