Default is this a good time? please look.

my best times yesterday were:

14.613@94.16, with a 2.227 60'
14.639@93.95, with a 2.252 60'
14.712@93.41, with a 2.194 60'

my car : 94 civic ex, b18c1, stripped trunk, 250lb driver

mods: shortram intake w/ custom ram air, dented up dc sports 4-1 header, 2 1/4" test pipe, 2 1/4" custom piping, hayame muffler. 18 degree timing, act extreme clutch/street disk, and kumho 712 @ 15psi and remove a/c compressor and p/s pump.

that good? bad? average?

Not bad....I had a similar set-up, but with CTR cams, RSR 4-2-1 header, Tanabe RM exhaust, iceman intake, stripped trunk, and removed passenger seat on 14x6x20 slicks. I ran a 14.1@95MPH. I have a 95' EX coupe w/B18C1 too. It was also burning oil. I think the valve seals were bad. After that run I couldn't get the 14.1 again.....just kept getting 14.2s and 14.3s.

Yes, those times seem to be pretty damn good. Most of the GS-R powered hatches in GA run right around 14.5-14.7 with i/h/e - although GA seems to be slower than the rest of the country. What gives?

Oh, and how much did your car weigh? That tells us something too.

Congrats though - good times

those traps seem a little slow but you should still be able to get a 14.5 or maybe a 14.4 if you can get traction. those 60 foots are pretty good already, though. Also try putting your timing back to stock. It will cost you off the line, but it should help a little on the top end. if the weather gets colder you might pick up that extra mph too. good luck.

I would definitely say better times with better tires. Kumho's are great all weather tires but not great for drag racing. I'd say 14.3-14.4 on drag radials and 14.0-14.1 with slicks.
