well i just ran my lsvtec and not really disapointed but not as happy as i thought i would be heres my time slip

14.7 e/t at 95mph
9.6 8th mile at 76mph
and a terrible 2.4261 60ft

i spun all the way through first, and second gear was basically a huge burnout im running a shitty bald all season tire on 14in steelies (185/60/14) which shows on my 60ft also first time at the track so that could have a little to do with my not so good E/T

my setup is

b18b1
gsr trans
.25 os ctr pistons
shot peened rods knife edged crank
p72 head ef-1 m23 cams
gsr intake manifold
skunk 2 springs and retainers (stock valves)
profab tri-y header with 2.5 custom exhaust straight to the muffler
short ram
stage 1 clutch
motor mount inserts(thought id throw it in there)

suspension
also have a full coilover setup
avid traction bar
front and rear strut bar

im pretty sure i can break into a 13.xxx with a good tire and i aslo still need a tune right now im tuning with a junk vafc
so i know the car has much better potential im not sure whether ill run a drag radial or a slick and i know my mph is decent i see people with 98-99mph running high 13's

this is in a 94 dx no ps or ac its a coupe

let me know what you guys think about the E/T and where i can go with this setup

get it tuned on the ASAP man and practice your launches and get some stickies and you should see vast improvment.

 

was thinking the exact same thing

 

is this is a hatch?

 

I like how everyone runs the shittiest tires in the world at the track, then complains about bad et's. Get that motor tuned right, and some real rubber on ..then go back.

 

def get it tuned, tires, then most of all practice ur launches. those 60fts are killing u. my GSR hatch runs better than that in the 1/8th so i say ur car has def potential to be much better. im gather parts to start on my ls/vtec, its goin to be similar to ur setup. let me know what times once u get the tune/traction problems resolved

 

that's a really low mph for that build...

 

1/4 mph does seem off but the 1/8th sounds a bit high but thats prob cuz of the traction issues

 

even with a 2.4 60', you should be running fasting than 14.7...

Get it tuned asap

 

thanks for the input, those are the only tires i had and we decided to go to the track last minute so i couldnt gent any others we should be going to the track next friday and ill be getting some drag radials i know i need a tune but i cant decide whether to get s treet tune or dyno tuned so i guess ill see if i can get a quick street tune to help till i can get a good tune ill let you guys know what my e/t's are after i go again on some tires and hopefully a tune

this is a coupe

keep the responses coming

i agree

 

what do you guys think my mph should be?

 

At least 98-99mph

 

well im sure having traction issues didnt help me getting there any faster.

the first run i did was at 94 and i bumped it up the second run a little to 95 and also had a better 60ft.

 

hey guys going back this friday, got some bfg drag radials,tightened up my traction bar setup changed my plugs. should be ready to roll ill keep you guys posted when i come back


any input before i go
