Tomorrow at honda day I will be running my gsr with a fully built head and p30 pistons tomorrow. My boy said my time is gonna be like **** like 15s even 16s becuaes its my firsst time at the track.

Only advice I can give you is contact the man above my post and invest in some 22x8 slicks . Tomorrow you will see the importance of traction and how it will affect your E.T. even with a low power setup such as yours.

Dont expect to go fast your first time, but you can improve quickly, there are a lot of details that you need to pay attention to to get a clean pass. The track is a lot more sticky than the street.

With street tires ???

Cant really tell you how to best launch your car , thats something that just has to be learned....

I do have one bit of advice for you so you dont look too much like a newbie @ the track. - The top 2 lights are staging lights, Move up slowly until you light up the first and then move up until the 2nd is lit up, then stop.....

I always get a kick out of watching the track officials have to teach someone how to stage at the track....

don't just go light the 2nd on tho well atleast i don't.. fair to let the other lane prestage light 1 with you then move up and light the 2nd

 

Even if you do run 15s you'll have fun and you won't get any tickets.
Try not to spin to much off the line unless you have a lsd.
My hatch on street tires ran 14.5 with a stock type r b18c.
Slicks will help alot or get drag radials if you don't wan't to
change tires at the track. Have fun, don't break
