Re: (vtecspeed1320)

Here's a couple vids of the earlier slower runs. The first was launching on 12 psi, the second without building any boost. Need to find somewhere in between.

As many others have said... this has been the year of the SOHCs.

Sick numbers (HP and 1/4) out of a simple setup.

you are making ~ 400 whp right?

what does that beast weigh?

i think with some 24.5s you may get some better traction and better et's
by the looks of the trap speeds, its got alot more in it

Yea, I meant to ask you on the PM, but I forgot...

Why did you go with 22" slicks?? With 400+whp, I think 24.5" would be a good size to go with.

I did, then I tried it my way.

Most of the rest of the stuff I put together is working pretty well. Surprised there weren't any more clinkers.

I have about $4500 in the whole car right now.
