this was my best run at the street legals on Saturday. what do i need to improve on? only my second time so be gentle. this was in a 95 integra ls with full interior and only I/H/E. also what are some suggestions for my next mods. THANKS


R/T... .117
60'.... 2.762
330... 7.101
1/8.... 10.787
MPH... 66.87
1000.. 13.97
1/4.... 16.633
MPH... 84.74

 

you need to devolop a launching technique to improve your 60ft...even w/ you getting a 2.3? on that run would of netted you a 15.8?-15.9?...just going to take practice

 

Do you mean like launching at a higher rpm (i launched at 4k) or just being better with the clutch because i didn't spin my tires excessively.

 

Slicks. Or at least DR's.

 

2.7 60ft is really bad. atleast 2.3.......work on your launch....go from anywhere 2500rpm to 3500.......you'll get into the 15's...

its honestly just gonna take <U>practice</U>...go to some test n tune nights at your local track..

 

I tried launching at like 3k last time but i had f'ed up motor mounts and was running way to much psi in my tires so i just spun the tires, guess i just got carried away this time. my tires were also bald this time, I'll try launching at 3k on my new tires next time, do you guys think that will make a big difference in my 60'? Has anybody tried Irwindale on Thursday nights? any good for practice?

 

Lay off the corona while at the track.

 

its just my name i gave it up to dump my money into the car. anybody got suggestions on what D.R.'s and possible next mods?

 

I went to Irwindale 2 weeks ago, and my best 60' was a 2.10. Not bad for my first time at the track, and a heavy *** GTI on 195/65/15 all season tires.

Just practice, and don't just dump the clutch.

 

Is there a lot of people at Irwindale on Thursdays? Do they have a good track? Still no opinions on drag radials or my next mods, huh usually people on HT have all kinds of opinions anything will help.

what are your goals? what is your budget?

 

I dont have any real numbers for my budget but I can afford lsv with out much saving but to rebuild and do lsv might take me a little bit of waiting(for example), I would like to be in the 14s soon, but not sure what that will cost exactly


lsv=LS VTEC (im trial and ran out of posts for today)

what the hell is lsv? just wanna know.

 

The traction on Saturday was not kind to any of the cars not running slicks or drag radials. I was with a group of h20 VW's and only 2of us got good 60fts. I was cutting 1.8-1.9s on slicks.....and a buddy on BFG drag radials was cutting 2.1-2.20 60fts. The rest of the group was on radials and their 60 fts were between 2.4-2.6...so don't feel too bad.

 

well that's good to know i don't feel THAT bad about my time now. Does anybody know about how many cars go to Irwindale Thursdays/how many runs you get?

 

get their at 5 pm get about 6 or 7 runs. i ran 8.9 last time with my lsvtec eg hatch. its ok i guess, they dont let u run open header.

buy a nitrous kit. that will surely put you in the 14's... on my Auto LS DA 2 years ago, i ran 16.7 NA, and i sprayed it to a low of 15.05.... with a 5 speed, thats surely a 14
