well last night i ran my car on the 1/8 mile for the first time ever, i have a White 90 Si hatch with an intake filter on the intake manifold and i'm just running a stock header with about 2 feet of piping on it. so tell me what yall think about that. i dumped the clutch at 5 Grand i think it was a little to high but thats what i dump on the street so let me know what i need to do and what i shouldn't do???.

 

we need some more info:
#1 is that a good time for what, for a bicycle that would be a damn good time
#2 what motor/tranny/ecu
#3 what kind of tires are you running
#4 what elevation is the track at
Give em some some info and your questions may be answered...
Oh and last and definatley not least do a search, lots o info to be read!!!!!

 

the whole car is stock, all i have done is some Dropzone Coilovers lowered all the way down

 

dump the clutch = spinning?

 

Haha...if that was a 1/4mile run that would be awsome (thats what I'm sure most of us assumed).

Pretty slow for a 1/8.

 

well noo duh lol

 

Pretty slow. I used to pull 10.1's with my near stock 89 CRX Si. I pulled a 9.8 with a D16Y8 in that car, and my latest hatch pulled a 9.2@77 with a B16.

 

well at least now he knows his starting point

I would pratice in this stock car before doing any mods or swaps to see how much u can learn on ur own that is the way most of us learned to drive or something like that

Dupming at 5 and spinning tires is not fast, why do so many people do this? STOP IT! Learn how to launch!

Exactly Rookies to the track always seem to do this when running street tires.

 

I'll admit I came in here ready to call BS then I saw it was a 1/8th mile track.

It also takes some getting used to when you go from RWD V8s to a FWD Honda. It just takes practice. More you practice the better you will get at launching.
