Default will 125whp with a decent driver hit 15's?

the reason i ask is because this guy on the drag forums said this:

um...i don't think you'll hit 15's with 125 whp. when i was running a bone stock b16, no header, intake, nothing...i ran a low 15 and i know the b16 had more than 125 whp. not trying to burst your bubble, just want you to be aware. it sucks when you expect to run a specific et and end up with something totally different. good luck to you!

i had the car dynoed and tuned and its making 125 single cam whp with 98lbs. the car is a 95 civic coupe dx gutted with a d15b i,h,e, underdrive pulleys, cam gear tuned, and vafc tuned. thanx for looking!

Expand on "decent driver".... how much driving have you done? How was your 60' at the other track?

You are asking a pretty vague question.

do you have any wieght #'s for your car???? is it a DX or SI????.......cause what it says in my sig was accomplished with a full interior, 12" sub and ported box (approx. 50lbs) and a motor that was blowing hella smoke!....so i probly had about 100whp....

it weighed about 2070 lbs

so if you can drive at all you should hit 15's no prob

good-luck

Depends on the weight of the car, the skill of the driver, the ambient and track conditions, and how good the launch is.

Horsepower alone does nothing.

If it's a DX coupe, and you can drive, then yes, you should be hitting 15s.

people are hate but i dunt care it was with a b18b tranny with just a clutch and 14" street tires. driver really does make 70% of the car though if u dunt kno how to launch, shift, ect it really does effect ur driving skills.

bone stock Z6 with 130xxx miles, ported head, intake and exhaust, 2500 feet elevation, 2.3 60 foot, ran a 15.5 @89 mph.

Engine was in decent shape. 94 Civic Si with no back seat.

125 whp in a gutted DX coupe will be mid 15's easily
