you should hit the 13's, but traction in fwd is an issue...i have lsd in my prelude but still cant get traction worth a crap on 35 series tires on 18s...i think some 16's w/ slicks will help....

no problem hitting 13's kinda depends how deep into on driver skill, 225 is not gonna be a great sreet setup though, i would invest in some bf goodrich street slicks....if you still want to use 1st and 2nd gear.......

Depends on how you go about doing it. A lot of the NA cars run faster at the same whp simply because they've got a wider powerband and can use thier short gears for longer.

yes you will deff have a traction issue with only 225. . .. . i hope you were joking when you asked that . . . . cuz if not you really dont have an itr then or you never really raced or got on it , cuz you would know with any kind of power traction is a huge issue
all motor i have less then 225 and i break my slicks loose in every gear at the track , not by much , but i do and on the street i cant even get on it at all its that much of an issue .
then with the other 80 hp on tap , just forget about it , whatever traction i had was all gone

Re: 1/4mile times with 225whp? (1 FAST R)
Why would you say 225whp N/A would be faster than with boost? Traction?
btw Im talking about all motor if that matters at all
