no v-tech..theres your problem.
jk..Any tuning device being used?

 

no, just stock p75 ecu. my tire was even lowered to 20 psi.

 

Well its pretty much stock motor what were you expecting?..Those mods you have done have probably added 10hp if you are lucky.Fastest ive seen a coupe with a b18b IHE go was 16.8..and the guy was a pretty crappy driver. Practice your launching a little bit and you could probably knock a few 10ths off.

 

my friend with his 95 civic ex coupe w/ intake also hit 15.8 too. i know there is something wrong with the car. i know i need to practice on my launching too but i know is more of the motor then me. i launch at 3k and take it to 7k rpm every gear. i am not that good of a driver but i'm not that sorry.

 

well the car seems normal with those numbers to me. You need to get your 60ft down and lighten it up. Im assuming you were on street tires and what rpm did you launch at? Were you spinning or did you bog off the line? Theres lots of variables that could effect your run too. Elevation, track conditions etc. But the numbers dont seem to far off from what i would expect from a pretty stock ls.

 

nothing wrong with your car.

look at your setup again. LS motor, making maybe 140hp to the wheels.
With the car and you weighing maybe in the 2400lbs range.
check out your 60ft too. Desired 60fts for cars on slicks are around 1.7-1.9s, pretty much sub 2.0s
IF you're on street tires, you can get it as low as 2.0 60fts. 2.4 is really not that great.

calculate that on one of those hp, weight, 1/4 mile calculators and you are where you should be at.

 

a rule of thumb, doesnt always hold true but evert tenth off the short time = 2 upstairs. to a certain degree.

 

its a stock LS, what did you think it was going to run? c'mon

Get rid of that stock muffler and throw on a fartcan and drive the car harder..

 

thats what its supposed to run. 120something whp what do you expect.

 

Your friends Civic might weigh a little less due to the fact it has a D and a 95 civic may weigh less than your 00.

lol

 

Operator error?? JK Just keep practicing. You will not see a drastic change with your current setup. You need more/better mods, more seat time, and tuning then the numbers will improve

they dont prep the track on wednesday nights at sac raceway because it the street legal night.go to a test and tune and youll get a better 60 foot for sure.

also that stock mufler isnt helping at all
