okay, here it is. i just raced this weekend at the track to see my time. this was a night drag but it started around 4 or 5 in the afternoon but it wasnt too hot. very windy. i live guam so it was around 81degrees. anyway, my average time that i was hitting was 17.1 with a 98 honda ex coupe. i have an AEM cam gear which was advanced 4 and i took out my right headlight and ran flex pipe to my short ram intake.i also took out my power steering belt. after i took that out, i was hitting 16.8. any suggestions on what to do next that will make my time go lower. oh yeah, my car was gutted out and i took off the rear bumper.

broad question. wt are your plans?

 

i'm wanting to hit 14s. what bolt on parts should i put next and what should the cam gear be set on. and should my timing be advanced or retarded

 

so you have a stock y8 with adj cam gear? are you asking what to do with the engine or what else to lighten your car?

 

adj cam is useless without tuning and probably a more aggresive cam,

as for bolt ons the only thing to get that engine in 14's is a turbo with some tuning,

 

practice practice practice....thats the first step. if that car was fully gutted, you should have been doing better than the 17.1's you were pulling. get a 4-1 header if you'll be at the track alot. Drag radials would be better too. i wouldnt suggest slicks just yet. if you really want 14's, go buy a zex wet kit. i had one on the 75 shot, full interior, and ran a 14.3 in my 00 EX. oh yeah, exhaust is also a necessity. Best investment though is to hold off on parts right now and piece together a turbo kit. i made one for 1200 bux.

 

depends on how tall you wallet is. if you got some spare change slap some nitrous or even turbocharge it. that might get you alittle closer to your range.

 

turbo it! peer pressure peer pressure

 

I just boosted my 00 ex. It made a big difference. Boosting will make you run 14's.

 

You can put together a turbo kit for very cheep too if your on a budget. I turbo'd my B series for $1000. I could put together a D series kit for even cheeper using a DSM side mount, T25, HX manni

Not true. My friend ran 14.2 with intake, cam, valvetrain, and exhaust.

That was on a beat and tired D16Z6.
