thanks a lot fastludeh22 that helped a lot, i hadnt been able to find one, even though its not the complete kits, the parts r the ones the would take forever to get, thanks alot

uhhh maybe you should dude. All I asked was a 5K launch on street tires, and said what my car does, which is the hop, and hopping is a horrible launch. I never said you didn't launch at 5k, just intrigued with that feat.


as a side note my brother and I both agree that R-compound tires really shouldn't be considered "street tires"... even though they can be used for it. R-Compound are designed for racing, not the street. And the gforce's shouldn't be classed as a street tire at all, you'll get what less than 1000 miles and shitty sidewall control at higher speeds? Maybe call them a DOT Approved tire, but not a "Street tire"

Well if you want to run 12s 13s. Just look into another car. The engines in 90, 91 were never meant to hold boost or nos. Its a Great engine when you leave it be. Mine has 251,567 miles on it. My engine is a b21a1. If you want those kind of numbers money on top of money. Though the fast way to get low times is to get a evo. My friends evo runs 13.2. With exhaust, intake and boost controller.

Well, your brother and you can disagree with me. Every drag racing sanctioning body considers BFG drag radials to be street tires, so who the hell am I to argue with them?

engrish, please.

This thread is downright funny. Everyone thinks they know everything, I don't know where to comment first.

Most of you are benchtop racers anyway. Theory flies out the window when talking about drag racing anyway.

I'd love to see someone launch a 300whp+ TURBO car on street tires, and run 12's. I launch on 22x8x15's(like firedrake) and they spin like mad and KILL my mph. That's with ~280whp, over 300 and GOOD LUCK!

Regarding the 5k launch on street tires, maybe some clarification is needed. FEATHERING at 5k is one thing, DROPPING at 5k is another. I could NEVER launch my prelude at 5k and not spin like mad and; kill the run. Slicks are a big difference, especially tall ones.

md23vtec, keep the posts coming, they're hilarious!

Personally I slip the clutch and feather the gas. BTW, I spray. Turbos just don't do it for me. I couldn't launch a turbo'd car to save my life.

Yes you do. Maybe not if the car is completely gutted with just a passenger seat and a fuel cell, but if it's a street legal prelude, you need slicks.

SKDRCR: Your friend's clutch will last a couple of runs, and you're at 800 ft altitude (very close to sea level). Your friend is probably going to blow his motor as well.

Not like I know anything, or have a 12 second prelude

He already blew his motor
but there is another lude here in town full interior, runnin mid 12's
with turbo and nos, he didn't have slicks but he had some small *** tires

Again, it's "driving lessons" but I know it's not your fault you have no grammatical skill.

Son, I was drag racing when you were still playing with GI Joes. I have a whole closet FULL of trophies for bracket, heads-up, perfect r/t, member of the year, ect. I've won a very decent amount of money too, fyi. Don't come on here telling someone you DO NOT KNOW that they cannot 'hook'. I've been through more clutches and flywheels than you can imagine. I'd love to meet you at a bracket race, we'd then see who's the better racer.

 

stop with the personal attacks and challenges guys

be civil or this will get locked

 

I do not have anything to prove to you. I run 12's on BFG drag radials. Anybody can sit behind a screan and say what they want. I produce and the track and the street. Do you know of Jason Hunt? Do you consider him a reliable source? He knows of my car. We talk just about everyday were good friends. I dont know what your problem is with me. But if you wanna meet at MIR and settle it you let me know.

 

like they said come to baltimore and youll see. put up or shut up...... oh yeah bring your bankcard too. thanks ahead of time

Put up or shut up? how original!

So, I just drive to baltimore and it's loaded with 12sec preludes on street tires?? Didn't I already say I would come to a track to see this?

My 2.4l 400+whp prelude is almost ready, sit tight kids.......

so wheres your dyno sheet?


im not trying to start a problem here, but lets all just calm down....some say 12's are not possible on "street tires" well i have a 5th gen lude that will be shooting for 12's on "street tires", if i can just get the damn thing to stop popping timing belts

 

LSiTurbo and md23vtec what track do u race at?

i live in maryland also, but the only track i really ever go to is 75-80 bc its so close

Yes, they might class them as such, but they aren't really a street tire. They were designed for racing, but in such a way that they can slide into the DOT classes. You'd be hard pressed to actually use them on the street for any period and still call them a "street tire". They aren't.

Look, I didn't say it wasn't possible; I said "I'd love to see someone launch a 300whp+ TURBO car on street tires, and run 12's." My point was not taken well, but it was not made well either. I was trying to suggest that the more power you have, the harder it is to run decent times with street tires. At high hp level, it's almost impossible to keep traction, without some serious tricks. I never said it could not be done, especially with nitrous; which mdvtec has. I have no problems with him, I did attack his grammar though. I asked for a slip, and I was thinking it was boosted not juiced; so x2 on me. I know this post got out of hand, yes I was adding logs to the fire.

I would like to hear about any boosted preludes running 12's on streets, not for interrogation either.

 

W3rd Apexii

I love how Apexii and I have the fastest preludes in this thread, are the ones that use slicks, and are the ones claiming you aren't going to be running 12's on street tires in a prelude
Preludes are heavy. Preludes are FWD. Preludes done right make 300+ whp, turbo, nitrous, 50 hampsters, I don't give a f&*k what you're using to make that power, just that it's there.
A heavy FWD 300+ whp car isn't gonna go 12's on street tires. I've never seen it. Show me a video, since all you guys have these mad fast friends going 12's on turbo nitrous street tire setup preludes. A car with that kind of power will BLOW AWAY street tires at the top of each gear, and will 60ft worse than a lawnmower on an ice field.
I'll take my car to the damn dragstrip and videotape a fricking run on street tires for all you 12 second street tire bench racers
Brian

 

firedrake, i cant say right now my car is one of the fastest, cause i havent trakced it or dyno'ed it yet. i know im putting close to 400 if not well over it. fact. i dont like to speculate cause its not me. i know theres plenty of time and money in the car. i chose to build my lude cause it was something different and its something alot of honda guys look to as "not worth trying". this being said, this thread is the one of the many things that continue to drive me on my quest to break 12's on street tires. i know its not going to be easy, but who said building a lude would be easy to begin with.

and for those of you who think im just a internet racer...a pic to get your minds working...



i know image quality isnt the greatest, but you get the idea

 

Well if the only thing you can do is attack my grammar you need some help. Go lay on a couch somewhere and see a shrink. I stated I have nitrous and run 12's on BGF'drag radials. YOU did not read it correctly. Making fun of my quote yeah now your a tough guy aren't you. Anbody can talk trash behind the screen. Which I do not see how you can do that when your car doesnt even run Almost does not cut it. How far are you from the Glen Burnie or Baltimore area? I think your writing a check your *** can not cash Also Baltimore is not loaded with 12 second prelude's nobody said it was I just said I run 12's and LSi turbo can varify it. And you still did not answer if you know of Jason Hunt?

 

"firedrake, i cant say right now my car is one of the fastest, cause i havent trakced it or dyno'ed it yet. i know im putting close to 400 if not well over it. fact. i dont like to speculate cause its not me. "

Not to keep a flame post going, but this set of comments is ludicrous. How can you say "fact" when in the sentences before you say " i havent trakced it or dyno'ed it yet"

I don't get that. Sorry dude, but that makes you lose a lot of credibility.

I can attest to that. I remember when you had one of the faster 4th gens. at the time. If you are the same apexii member from the old hp.com. I remember at the time, you were breaking things left and right because you were making pretty high whp for the time. Also, didn't you get into the low to mid 12's on one run before snapping an axle? Anyways, my member handle over used to be 'Dwight-O'. Good to see other members are still around some descent boards

i know it cause ive driven other 350+ hp cars, and ive also driven my car. my car is putting the power down, i know it for a fact. if youd like to know my set up id be more than happy to share it withyou. the car is being gutted down to the frame as we speak and being resprayed, when it goes back together itll have a full cage, fresh paint, driver and passenger seat and a dash. like i stated, im looking for 12's on "street tires".
