Back in the days...

I use to have 215-60-15s, I use to pull 2.3 60s with 25psi if air. I launched at about 3.2-3.5k- while feathering the gas.

I then switched to Nitto 555s Drag radials 205-50s I pulled low 2.1s. I launced at about 3.5k-3.8k- while feathering the gas

Just an FYI- Good 60ft times MAKE good 1/4 mile times. Shoot for a 2.3.

I usually got 2.3 60ft and have a couple 2.2 , I would use the smallest wheel you have, and run ~30 in the left and 27 in the right. This is because the right tire spins more normally. Do you have any mods to the car?

All you need is practice. If you can afford to make improvements on the car, start with the basics (i,h,e) and then work on the suspension. I believe you can drop your 60ft time significantly to around 2.1 with little work. This will help with your E.T. of course. Stick around (don't get scared off by the ones who don't offer help) and ask questions. I have been racing my 4th gen for a while now and have been able to pull 1.8 60's with a fully equipped car. (no, the engine isn't a stock f22 however)

Or a stock H22 for that matter either.

You can still pull decent times/60ft with a slightly moded f block.

I have been Dragin my 4th F-block gen for about 3 years now. I went from running 17.3/2.5 maiden run to running a 14.999/2.1.


With the new H22....we will see what times I can pull

Like 2.6 said. Lots of Seat also needs to be added to the equation if you want to run good times.

Dont forget to add some suspension mods: Konis/Ground Controls with a good spring rate (idealy 350Fr-500R)
Adjust front suspension to remove as much camber as possible
Remove weight from rear part of car. (yes that means those bi-plane wings)
Get a set of Drag radials/Slicks for the track
..and Practice,Practice,Practice

14.999/2.1 for a 4th gen that's pretty quick.
I'm hoping this is on slicks with a lot of weight reduction?

Ran this time with:

92 Accord Ex Coupe 5spd-F22a6 (F22 for sale by the way....Best offer)
Open header, Open Intake,Advanced timing, removed PS belt
Nitto 555s Drag radials, Weight reduction, Car Weighs 2480 (w/o Driver)

Basicly on "free mods" and lots of seat time.

Heres the slip
