Default Times Please-Mid 14's sound good?

Wanting to know what I should be running in these conditions:

90 CRX Si
B16A
OBX Ram Intake
Gutted Cat
HaSport Shift Linkage & Short Shifter
Eibach Sportlines 1 3/4" front-stock rear

Here are the different conditions:

17" Enkei Suzuka's /Falken Tires: Mid 15's?
15" Integra LS w/ Kuhmo Tires: Mid to low 14's?

15" Integra LS/Kuhmo Tires
&
4-1 DC Sports Ceramic Header: Low 14's maybe breaking into the high high 13's?

Is that wishful thinking guys, or possible? I am also going to be putting new sparks & wires in this week, along with changing oil. Would you guys suggest synthetic? ~40,000 miles on B16A. It has Castrol 10W30 in it now, which seems a little off but it's what the guy b4 me put in it.

a header isn't going to break you into the 13's
it'll get you in the 14's if you can drive

i saw get 15's Rotas for lightweight wrapp them in some sticky tires 555's or sumthing

get a 2.2 60' or better
and you got yourself a 14 second car.

some weight reduction will help too....

oh yeah changing to 5w30 of synthetic or regular oil will help...

That seems VERY fast 60'...that's only a 14? I would have to get a mad jump on these 17's to do that.

Would you suggest castrol 20w50? or how much of a difference will I notice with the synthetic. Today I had 4 people tell me not to, so I am rethinking my decision.

What would it take (bolt-on wise) to get into the 13's? If I do the 4-1 headers, 14" steelies/alloys, cam gears, and a skunk 2 intake manifold, would that do it? Dont have the cash or patience to do major engine work right now.

20w50 is too damn thick

stick 5w30, 10w30, or 0w30 nothing else!

2.2 60' is hard to get with 17's
thats why big wheels are for trucks!

get smaller rim and stickier tires
launch high and rip it!

you will need at least 180 whp to get 13's
unless you invest in a pair of slicks which you might run 13's
with a 1.8 60'

cai
jdm 4-1
testpipe
exhaust system
ITR cams (or anything else)
cam gears
SAFC
tune it you got 13's if you can race!

Aight, I'll stick with the 10w30 I got in there now then. The fatty rims/tires came with it....being sold tomorrow night:

What would you say launch it on 15's? What's test pipe (Racing Cat?)? How hard are the cams to put in, and can it be done at home (Haven't done b4). SAFC?

I have a friend that hit a 14.7 stock in a 90 CRX Si only w/AEM intake, and on stock Si wheels.
