Default its a start ..

went to the track tonight for the first time to see what she could lay down amd i was impressed ..
she ran a best out of three passes of a 16.48 .

this was in my 88 ef hatch with a stock b18a1 , with a cone filter straight to the TB. and a header , and a b16 trans with lsd. and on street tires , spinning most of first gear . not much prep on the track tonight .

like i said its a simple start to my madness and is only gonna get better as i go forward with my n/a build.

where im located the elevation is almost 4000 feet above sea level and im on a stock tune ..

Gotta start somewhere.

Get some good street tires or drag radials and work on getting your short track times down. Get a lot of seat time now before you build it, you'll thank youself later.

Post a break down of your slip. working the short track is a huge gain.

I was running low 16's on street tires in my integra gsr about 2 years ago, but I've been practicing, got a chipped ecu and a tune, picked up some slicks and finally went 14.2 at the last event. Will be getting some good coilovers before the next race and will be launching higher on lower psi in the slicks. Should be good for a 13.8 - .9. stick with it, get the seat time, and like they said work on the short track. the first 660' is where you lower your et's
