This is all in a HEAVY *** Full Interior 5th gen prelude

the car is making 400whp/310wtrq @ 10psi on pump gas.

Here is a quick run down of the set up...

H22 Block:
-89mm with Golden Eagle Sleeves
-89mm Rollerwave pistons 9.5:1
-Manley/Full Race Rods
-ARP Head Studs

Head:

Drivetrain:
-Stock Tranny- for now
-ACT 6puck with extreme PP
-ACT streetlight flywheel

On the Way:
-Slicks
-Axles (once i figure out which I want to go with, heard bad things about gators)

I'm on a very tight budget and still saving up for the on the way items, but im sick of having this set up and only making highway runs and want to reach my goal i set out for myself and was the reason for building the car.

so i guess my question is my goal in close reach?

 

super!

 

Well within reach. . What size slicks you plan on runnning? I'd recommend some 23's.

Killer Powerband btw.

you not see my responce i made above? i wanna make sure im playing with a full deck before i bring it to the track

 

Run 18psi in that thing You would def hit 12's on drag radials with that power(10psi). How much that thing weigh???

Do a search on Preloading and you should be able to stick w/ your OE axles(on slicks). The reason I say 23" slicks is that w/ the weight of your vehicle and that power level, you'll want to take any gearing advantage possible. I've seen 500+WHP cars run on 22's so you should be fine w/ the 23's even w/ that amount of torque. Good luck.

He may have a problem finding a 15" rim/23" combo though. As long as they make that slick you should be fine if not a 24" would work fine also.

 

Call John @ M & H for some slicks. He has 23" and bigger for the 15" rim

Aggreed !! You only need big slicks when your trying to compensate for gearing. Being an H tranny you have PLENTY of gear so stick with a 23 or 22 inch slick on that car. Ive seen a close to 500whp prelude stock car run on 23's and it hooked really nice. I personally had 23's on my LS and it hooked nice as well cause of the longer gearing. Good luck

 

thanks for all the comments/suggestions so far

I think he might run out of gear with the 22's.

How high do you spin the motor John?

 

With a prelude tranny? Dont they do like 900mph in 3rd gear?

All joking aside depending on what he is reving to, with an LS tranny you can pull up to 136mph at 8k rpm in 4th gear and i know the prelude gears are longer so i dont see it being a problem on those 22's but i personally would stick with a 23 too. worked very well for my gearing and should work for yours to reach your goal.


Good luck let us know how you make out

 

reving a M2F4 (usdm h22 trans) to 8K would give you the following MPH in 4th:
23" tire 121 mph
22" tire 116 mph

 

hope to have some results soon. just on a very tight budget, thats why ive been on the same set up for almost 2 years but keep these suggestions coming

Is that the trans with the 4.4 final or the longer final?
