ran my car and got a 14.5 with a 2.5 60' at about 98 mph. i couldnt get traction and couldnt find a sweet spot to launch at. i just launch mostly at low rpms and sometimes at idle, took a bit for my vtec engage i have a 95 cx with a type r swap, intake, and exhaust. i ran on street tires which i found out is hard to launch on with this setup. can anyone tell me anything that could improve my times or any info, potential of the car?

 

put on some slicks

 

tell me about it! heh

 

I had a similar problem, I could not get my 60' times below 2.3 with street tires. Best times were 14.2-14.3's. Put slicks on and got a 2.082 60' and a 13.687 at Fontana Saturday. That was my one and only run. With more practice my times would have been even better. Get slicks

 

Get a Miata!

 

i went to fontana on sunday, wish u would have made a post and we could have met up. so if i ran a 14.5 with a 2.5 60', then with slicks and a 2.0 60' , u think i can run mid 13s?

edit: what about some nitto drag radials? , id like to run what i run the same tires i run with on the street too. ever tried them with your honda?

Never tried the drag radials. I have heard good things about them though. Read through some of the posts in the drag racing forum, there is some good info there.

 

I my self have the 555r nittos and they work great

whent from 15.18 to 14.79

 

cool thanks. any thoughts on the capabilities of the car the way it is? you think i can break a 13 second run on some drag radials?

 

hey man if you have a ITR motor in a EG cx and put some baby slicks on you car you should be running a 13.0 all day, and with those slicks i bet you can get ur 60' down to a 1.8 or maybe a 1.7, by the way what year motor is it?

 

You'll definately be at least mid 13s with slicks. With a gsr motor in my eg on 20x8x14 slicks...I ran 14.2 at Palmdale...which is good for 13.7 sea level. 1.95 60ft. Only got one run...so I probably could have improved a bit.
