Default i should have gotten a b18c!!!! stupid b16a

ok i have a 97 civic dx coupe w/ full interior and a small 12" box in the trunk and heres my set up...

bone stock jdm b16a(obd1-obd2 skunk2 harness)
p28 ecu tuned by Erick's racing
jdm type r header
s80 gsr tanny
stock clutch
aem cai
greddy evo full cat-back
stock catalytic converter
r-1 coilovers w/ kyb gr-2
pep boys front and rear sway bar
gsr rear disk brakes
si cluster, console,seats, sway bar, wheels on falken azenis 205/50/15
No A/C & P/S

anyways, i took my car to the race track and the times were very disapointing.
ok this track is in palmdale ca, i heard a lot of bad things about it, and even saw
GSRs running low 16s, stock 00 SI hitting low 17s and B16a coupes and tegs in the 16s.

it was about 80 something degrees,i'm running on falken azenis drop to 30 psi
stock shitty clutch and full interior launching a 5500 rpm
R/T .591
I1: 2.477
I2: 6.674
I3: 10.228
I4: 13.251
E.T. : 15.964 (15.451@sealevel)
MPH: 84.981

damn!!! i dont know which one in the 60 ft, i dont know what i'm doing wrong, yes my clutch is slipping. Ok what should i do should i launch at a differnt rpm, do i need a better clutch? i know i need more practice. and any info or suggestions will help. peace

some agressive cams would help out alot, also get a vafc, dyno that ****, etc.... lots of things you could do

if that's not enough, go get yourself a turbo

Tire pressure is to low and because you run a 205/50/15 instead of a 195/55/15 your gear ratio is higher causing you to wine out faster and killing your top speed int the 1/4 but crazy cams would help with some uped compression

just my .02

the blackies may work
try like 20psi
i usually run at like 22-18 psi depending on temprature.

that should have a mid 15 in it
im running the same time with intake and header. thats all.
