Default went to track with d16y8 93 cx hatch for first time

well as some of you know i have been doing this swap for like 2-3 weeks on my spare time and i completed it last week and took it to the muffler shop to put in my testpipe and adjust my catback. here are my 3 times and setup.
98 d16y8 swap with y7 bottom end and p28
clutchmasters 9lb flywheel
act clutch
aem short ram
dc headers
test pipe 2.5"
hp racing 2.5" cat-back
ground controls on stock shocks
13" steelies with stock tires

first run
.829 rt
2.479 60'
6.776 330
10.369 1/8
68.26 mph
13.473 1000'
16.089 1/4
85.64 mph

2nd run
1.024 r/t
2.644 60'
6.946 330'
10.529 1/8
68.62 mph
13.620 1000'
16.228 1/4
86.15 mph

3rd run
1.092 r/t
2.380 60'
6.640 330'
10.233 1/8
68.50 mph
13.327 1000'
15.931 1/4
86.26 mph

I got there late so i only got in three runs. i have been racing for 7 years and this is my forst time out with this honda so i am still getting used to launching the sohc motor. this is only my second honda with a stock motor. my last run was the best but oddly my worst reaction, but my best 60'. but my 60' can be much lower. i feel the car can be running like 15.5 as is, maybe a bit better once i am used to it. i have only had it on the street for 5 days. i have a turbo in my house that will be on this motor shortly. let me know what you guys think. comments welcome!

the o2 was easy. i will find my papers and let you know exactly what pinouts to wire it to. i just wired it straight to the ecu. wiring just took me a few hours.

My best is a 16.2 with a D16z6 with I/H/E I only trap at 83 mph. I am over a mile high above sea leval so you should be able to do better.

My best time was a 15.8 w/ 55 shot of ZEX in my D16y8.
Not a bit of traction 1- end of third + it was my first time ever at the track.

btw-all 3 of these runs were on 30 psi of tire pressure instead of like 10-15psi. my gauge was stuck so i couldn't measure it when i got there. but later i borrowed someone's and lowered it but i didn't get to race. so i will try again next week and my itr throttle body i just picked up.

You can do much better.

Reaction time means jack. Your 60' needs to come down a bit.

Where did you run?
Atco?

Englishtown?

Island? lol

What were the track conditions like? Was it hot/humid? Since you are in NJ you can't be running any higher than 90ft above sealevel. So elevation is not really a factor.

Just as an example of how much better you can do, i managed a 15.9 in my 95 EX coupe when it was bonestock...

My last time drag racing was last summer.

94 Civic Si, no rear seat or spare, ported head, intake and custom exhaust,

ran a 15.5 @ 88 mph with a 2.38 60 foot.

I could list all the things I did wrong or could have changed, but that's what I ran...it's slow either way
