Default What do you think I should be running?

Curious if anyone could help me out.

I've got a 99 Civic with a turbo LSV in it. Its dyno tuned at 344whp and 226wtq. It weighs 2700lbs with me and a full tank of gas. The best time I can get on Dragy is 13.60 @ 96.53mph

60ft-2.39
330ft-6.12
1/8th-8.97 @ 87.90
1000ft 11.41 @99.67
1/4- 13.60 @ 96.53

Is it my 60ft time that needs to get better? I truly believe reading a lot of old forums on here that 340whp at 2700 lbs should be a lot quicker then 13.60.

Thanks! First post so please dont roast me. [img]file:///C:/Users/wilma/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image001.gif[/img]

Hi Ryan,
I would venture to guess you're on 15" wheels and tires, correct? Going to a 13" slick will be night and day. I tried to make my 15 inch wheels with 205/50/15 200tw tires work for a while, but after having a conversation with Brent from PFI, his first advice was going to a bias ply tire. He said, and I validated, that making the 15" setup work is very difficult. By making the switch, all my wheel hop was immediately gone, and my 60' went from a 2.2 to a 1.9, on the first pass.
Make sure your clutch can take the slipping that is necessary. I'm at ~450hp on gate, and CC Stage 4 has been fantastic to me.

Good luck!

I am running a 205/55/14 Toyo R888 with a stage 5 CC.

Nice, that clutch should take the slipping no problem. Just gotta try some bias ply's now, the soft sidewall is a must. I would guess your car should be in the mid 11's.
