Ok guys help me out with this cuz I am lost. my best time on the ¼ mile (for a guy that is barely learning how to launch) is 15.6. I had a 92-95 civic aem cold air on my em1 and a custom exhaust with two inch piping. Since then I slapped on an aem cold air fit for my car and replaced the muffler with and HKS Hi-Power. I went out to the track last week and my best time was 16.1. could it be b/c of the bigger intake size or my exhaust?? I know my other muffler(custom) was more free flow than the HKS.
I am just trying to figure out why I would go 0.5 seconds slower…THANKS GUYS!

 

was the air temperature really hot this last time you went compared to the first time?

 

ummm...california scorchin weather...it was a little hotter than usual...

no air = less power.
how was the humidity?

 

wow i really dont know that much...LoL
would the bigger intake make me lose power?

 

What was the mph of both passes? That's the best wat to compare.

 

my last couple passes with 16.2 and 16.1 i had 86 and 87 MPH
my 15.6 was 90-91 MPH

 

Hmm, I don't think there will that drastic of a power loss with an intake and it'll have to be hotter than hell. Clutch holding up ok?

 

yeah its an EXEDY stage 1 put on in 12-06. car is babied most of the time besides two trips to the track

 

take the old intake to the track and see,

is there a stock tune? alot of times when you start adding more air into the motor the tune needs to be adjusted...

honda does a very good job of tuning there cars with ALL the stock parts...add stuff and it throws off the tune

This may or may not be the case but its been known to happin...

Did u change the tires @ all?
