wtf is up with my car??????????????
i have a 95 gsr in my 92 hatch cx w/ skunk2 intake manifold,str 68mm throttle body,aem cold air, dc 4-2-1 headers, full cat-ack exhaust and 95 fat fives w/azenis drag radials. i took it out to the track last night and i could only pull 15.1 @92mph . now this aint right. the motor runs smooth as hell,no knocks or pings. it seems like its loosing power from 30mph to 60mph .my previous hatch that i owned had a 96 gsr with basic mods but had the 4-1 headers instead of the crappy 4-2-1 i have now and i was running 14.2@102 mph . im thinking it might be the fuel pump and injectors. the fuel pump is still the stock cx FP and i think im not getting enough fuel to make up for the bigger int manifold and tb. if u have any ideas on what the problem might be please please fill me in. thnx

Hate to say it, but it could just be your driving. I was pulling 14.2's consistently with my old 95 dx with skunk2 im, JDM DC 4-1 header, and exhaust on some crappy tires.

I think you might have answered your own question.
I was going to say it might be your clutch, but that would be more than just 30-60. I would upgrade the fuel ish to be adequate for the bigger motor/injectors you're running, and if that doesn't fix it... Hmm, I duno.

You use a p28 and that will get rid of your knock sensor, also a FPR and gauge so you can up your fuel since a stock p28 wont do it, or you could go on Homemadeturbo forums and find someone who could socket you a P28 and make a chip for all your mods(that's what I did for 120), and then the obvious is just get a knock sensor.
Your stock fuel pump will easily Handel all the mod's you have just need a way to control it. Also a Skunk2 IM has a 64mm bore so your 4mm too big

Yeah is would run shitty, when I didn't have mine on vtec would get all screwy and run like I had it flooded. It will be noticeably better with it.

Wow, wtf dude?! Relax, how the **** was I to know? I didn't say it to be insulting; I was just saying. Maybe you should put that in your sig, god forbid someone try to help you out again.
