Went to the Gainesville Raceway tonight for test and tune. well my first run kinda suprised me....nasty wheel hop = shitty 60' time....however i did run through the traps at 106 mph....too bad the 1/4 time was 14.238 im guessing i didnt make it in the 13's because of traction issues and my stock clutch.....It slips really hard from 3rd to 4th at the beginning of the night after the first run...then my last run, it wouldnt hold the power....oh well, time to put in the clutchnet. anyways here is my three runs...these are on BF Shitty tires from a stock civic @ 8 psi (i decided not to run 9)

60' 2.528
330' 6.527

as you can see my last run would have been kick *** except when it just slipped in fourth i just gave up, so my trap speed only hit 100....

 

Mase, Your trap spees is really good. That is a low 13sec run with traction.

thats what Im hoping....but damn did i want to smell 13's bad tonight....clutch just killed my times, this saw my traction problems and was going to let me borrow his slicks, but we didnt have two jacks

 

You did better then me!!!

My best time with my HORRIBLE slipping stock clutch...

1/4- 16.6
trap- 90

From my trap speed I should have been AT LEAST in the 14's.
No launch, and no clutch mean's I'm just sitting there off the start.

Oh well

 

Look at the sig.....
Thats an idea of where you are!

 

Yup! 13.2-13.5 somewhere in that range.

 

you're running the same times i am, with 10mph more...so i'd say low 13's

 

that was supposed to be me, my roommate was still logged in...

 

man, thats got low 13s written al over it, maybe even 12s.

Get some slickas!

 

thanks guys, just a little frustrated tonight though, knowing i should be hitting 13's all day, and couldnt reach them.....i just dont go to the track often enough to be worth while to buy some slicks, next time im gonna have to borrow some...or some ****....rather use that money for some fuel management.......anyways, it was kinda fun to chase this supercharged F150. it ran a 14.2 the time i ran 14.0 got him just towards the end......it blew me away off the line though...

 

whats ur setup bro...?

 

b18b stock block, cam gears are set at zero....skunk2 im, drag 3 kit....shitty fmu, stock injectors in inline fuel pump @ 8 psi...

 

From what some knowledgable people have stated. LS motor with cam gears should have the intake set at 0 degrees and the exhaust gear set at -4 degrees. Just a FYI and thats what I will probably go with if I ever get cam gears.

 

hmm.. damn thats a lot of retarding on that exhaust side.....maybe ill try that next time i go to the track.....thanks for the info

 

Yah i saw you last night you have that silver teg i raced you a while ago i think over on paines prairie w/ my blue eagle talon.

You definetly need some type of drag radials or slicks you were spinning kind of bad. With that MPh you should be in the high maybe mid 13's Im sure that your car will be there soon.

 

Yeah, bad wheel hop, everything was going nuts inside the car.

 

i set my intake at 0 and exhaust at -2... i actually lost some hp on the dyno..not much, like 2-3, but then, it really smoothed out the graph, and didnt have that many dips.. i guess its worth it, cuz u can tottally feel it, not droping so much. have you ever dynoed you car? what chassis is your b18b in? I'm just curious because i'm heading to the track next week, and i wanna hit 13s... i've got almost everything the same as u, except mine's a revhard kit.. and its in a sol..

 

dont let the ET's bother u. your mph kicks ***. just get some good tires and a clutch and go run some mid-low 13's.

 

Its in an integra....so you should be able to pull 13's in your sol....Hey, does anyone know how hard it would be to change my clutch with hand tools, im going to take off the flywheel and have it resurfaced....a mechanic at work said it will be much easier with an impact gun.....should i do the install at work?

 

Welcome to my world..

 

whats your best time VTC Civic? if you can make it into the 13's with a stock block SOHC civic, im impressed.....

 

Whats up Dave!! I havent talked to you in a while cars running really strong

Hay man ive got a buddy that does some side work at Honda here in Ocala. He does a lot of side work on peoples car i can see if he can do your clutch if you werent wanting to do it yourself. Oh by the way email me or give me a call we are meeting up Sat. night to get in some races we have several fast all motor cars here that i think would be a good race. or give me a call.
