Default Is this a right time?

I dropped a b16 into my 93 civic EX, AEM CAI, DC 4-1 headers, and Greddy Evo. I have made about 20 runs in my car and the best times have been 15.7@88. That is running without a hood (which drops my time by like .3, running cooler). It is much quicker, but i'm wondering if it should be quicker than that.

heh sounds about right for a stock B16.

I think you should be running some quicker times than that, I have a 1996 civic ex, back in the day, a couple summers ago with a full interior, a bolt on rear section muffler, and an AEM cold air intake I was able to run a 15.78@88. Maybe once you get a little more use to driving the car at the track you can bring those times down.

Depending on the track, you're driving skills, and wieght of the car maybe a mid-low 15. But your time sounds about right for a coupe.

my 97 dx coupe ran a 15.9@85MPH w/ 2.4 60' at palmdale california, one of the shitiest tracks in the country. its 2,710ft above sea level. it had bone stock b16a with intake/exhaust, stock catalytic converter, clutch and header, full interior, gsr rear disk brakes and falken azenis tires. you should be hitting lower times.

sea level
et 15.3@ 88mph
