first race is me against a aaudi turbo with slicks and as you can see it didnt help him whatsoever and the second race is against a 6 seond eigth mile built 5.0 mustang.

first pass 2.077 60
5.6 330
8.206 eighth
94.5mph

second pass 2.045
5.4 330
8.044 eighth
93mph

all on 195 50 15 street radials falkens

gonna try to break into 7s with street tires.
with a 8.4 i get a 12.6 to 12.7 quarter so with the math my new time is like a 12.2 to 12.4 quarter with street tires

 

my first and second is running off the wastegate at 5.5 psi, third is at 11.6 psi and fourth is at 14.8psi for the first run and in the second run i rose the third gear boost to 13psi

 

once i get 26 or 24.5 inch slicks im gonna go with 12psi in first, 15 in second, and 22psi in third and fourth with q16. if i dont break the 7.2 range then im going nitrous but i really really doubt it

 

how is that even fun? never understood 1/8th mile racing

 

I agree. I just cant get into 1/8th mile. When I think drag racing I think 1/4 mile.

 

Sometimes you have to take what you can get. OP I doubt you'll need 26's. Congrats on the new PR.

 

The first half is more important than the last shift!

 

What trans?
Yeah in cali there's not too many drag strips open every week for street cars.

 

Nothing against it at all. Just doesnt seem as fun as qtr mile racing.

 

I've seen videos of miller testing @ short tracks before. Like d rob said the first half OS more important. Great place to dial the car in and get some seat time.

 

Op how much hp you make? Any idea how much the mustang was built? Na? SC?? Car sounds good man

 

I never really understood drag racing in the first place honestly.. I grew up at Road Atlanta.., mom worked there and dad raced a lot, I've also grown up around race bikes.. tracks like Laguna Seca, Barber, Jennings, etc

This is how I feel



As long as a person can get the launch down... reaction time, 60ft etc. Then almost anyone can do 1/4 mile racing

 

So does that hold true for the 9 and 8 sec 1/4 guys? Just get the launch down lol.

 

With a better reaction time i think you can get into the 7'S easy

 

I demand pictures of your setup! Lol

 

Of course not, those guys have gearing and shift points down to a science. As well as the overall setup of thexcar... weight distribution, down force, drag, lift, etc

The average Honda owner that drag races will not break the 10-11 second mark... so all that is is toss some slicks on it, setup the two step/anti lag and practice launching and dropping 60ft times.. after that its just shift and keep the cad straight.

Purpose built drag cars are a total different animal from a street/strip car.

Just like how we normally don't drive the FormulaD competition cars on the street (although some are tagged) and they are totally different from someone that casually drifts, does grassroots stuff.

 

the reaction time doesnt count for my actual timeslip though. thats added on top if you get what i mean. i would have to hook 2nd or get a 1.960ft with street tires but thats really hard. i havent seen anyone do that yet

 

i tune my own car with hondata s300 so idont know exactly how much im making but im guesing in fourth gear with my boost by gear around 350 to 400 and around 270 to 300trq.

and that mustang was NA!!! that **** was fuken fast. it got a 6.7 earlier and it was spining in the video suposedly(he was fully built though allthe way, racegas and massive tires)

 

if i had a choice to run the quarter i would man trust. but here in Socal it sucks man because this is the only track near me where i don't gotta worry about paying a fortune for tow truck if i snap an axle and i cant afford the gas to tow my car in a bug truck all the way out to the quarter mile tracks which are all at least 3 to 4 hours away

 

GSR tranny, helps alot too be honest

 

yea this dude has a point. the first half of the track is where all the skill is needed to lay down the traction in the 60ft and 330ft aka 2nd gear which in hondas isnt easy to hook like third and fourth(second half of the track). i got a 8.0 eighth but when i raced in the quarter long time ago when fontana was open i got a 12.7 with a 8.4 eighth and slower mph than my 8.4s at my local eighth mile track. so in theory i should be 12.2 to 12.3 on street radials with my new 8.0sec run.

and the eighth mile also has less wear and tear on your engine but again if i had a quarter mile track around here i would definitely only be going there

 

hier ist meine integra. alles ist bei mir "getunned"(lol) und aufgebaut. lol excuse my crappy german but heres my setup.

 

you know you like that red valve cover, 5+ hp

 

Lmfao at the guy posting a picture of straight line being all about the car. Go jump behind the wheel of a 700hp FWD Honda and tell me any fool can do it. That would be like me saying anyone can jump in a 240 and become a drift king lol. If you're talking about the typical 15 second Honda well then the same could be said for road racing. If drag racing isn't your cup of tea thats fine, but don't **** on others who enjoy it.

OP, nice setup and runs!

 

So badass what fuel rail is that?
