what kind of suspension are you running? what gear burnout are you doing? the mph is there but there is no traction hence the slower times. but the mph shows a good et is possible

clean your iacv, its on the back side of the im, the screen gets clogged with crap, use brake parts cleaner, if that doesn't work also search fitv and there will be something on how to fix those cause they cause internal vac leaks as well. also look everything over to make sure you don't have some obvious vac leak.

ls turbo my burnout is 1st gear only and i have coilovers but they r ground controlls.... no traction bars or anything else what u think.....do u think i should spend my money on 24" slicks ......not trying to bug you just trying to figure it out lol...thanks again

IMO there is no need for 2nd or 3rd gear burnouts. I've done 1st gear burnouts only, I cut consistent 60's, on small slicks. Its all driver.

Re: LST / LS-T Turbo B18A B18B setups
doing 2-3 gear burnouts puts heat in the tires quicker. Wheels speed is key for tire heat. Otherwise in 1st gear you have to sit there off the limiter for quite a while. Not a great idea IMO. Depending n your power you can do a nice 3rd gear holding it to the floor and the rpm's will come up and stay lower instead of bouncing off limiter

I just feather the throttle in 1st until i see some ok smoke. I cut low 1.7's open diff on 23's, and mid 1.6's with LSD in heavy cars

If its around 330-350 and had ls tranny I would shoot for 23" 24.5" would work but would help if it had a little more power. I've seen guys making 420 HP and still using 23" and working great for them.

Went through and read some of this thread again, I haven't been on honda-tech much in the last few years. This thread makes me miss my car. Nice LS-T cars everyone.

yeah id go with a larger tire my self. 23's should be plenty unless more power is in the future then pick up some 24.5's and a gsr transmission
