Default What do you guys think about my times?

Well my second time at the track but this time with some good tires, on my stock 13' steelies i could only pull a 10.1 in the 1/8th. Finally the Azenis came in for my 99-00 Si rims. Car setup is: 93cx, LS swap with jdm gsr tranny with itr lsd, aem cai, 2.25' piping to apexi n-1, Azenis dropped to 32psi, other than that nothing but the rear seat and spare taken out.

my best was a 2.1 60ft, with a 9.5 at 73mph

So what do you guys think? oh yea the motors still missing too, it needs new plugs and plug wires its running really rich and keeps fouling plugs and has the same plug wires it had when i got the swap from a junkyard. thanks guys

Thanks dmotoguy, at the azenis stock psi(52) wheel hop is ungodly, i ran one time at the track like that and wont ever do it again lol, it slung my ashtray out of the dash pretty much broke my cd player it wont play cd's anymore, slung glovebox open. but even at 32psi it wheel hops bad but the more it hops the better 60ft's i pull. I'm wanting to drop it more but my axels are already gone after only having the motor in for a month, their slinging grease everywhere under the hood, but im still pulling 2.1 60ft's lol but oh well.

On the sidewall of the tire it says 52psi. Thats what they inflated them to when they mounted them too, so i've kept them that way, i thought it was weird to but i dunno.

Definitly the air pressure is way to high to be safe on the street go with 30-32PSi
at the track 20Psi otherwise your tires will bald in the center due to overinflation
Not a bad time though I guaruntee it will qiucker if lower your air pressure,even if you only lowered it to 32Psi versus 52Psi

52psi is the max psi for those tires, not the normal driving pressure. Run 35 or so on the street and drop to 20 for the track.

sometimes if you leave it that high of PSI, your tires will start to have bubbles poping out looking like a teen with a fat *** pimple.

i never paid much attention to where it says max psi 52 on the side of the tire, but thanks alot guys for pointing that out, also the main reason i filled them back to 52psi after the track was because the place that mounted them had them filled that high, but thanks alot guys for the advice on that before they started to bubble.

now that i've got 10 replies on my tires, lol. Can i get some opinions on my times? thanks guys

mph seems a little low... do you notice it dropping off towards the end of the track? I'm trapping 74mph in my stock GS-R Integra. Maybe it's cuz you have more traction than me?

Yea the car seems to pull considerably harder down low than it has top end but hey, it an LS. So i believe the main reason i pulled that 9.5 is because im hooking pretty good. But im happy for it being just an LS with intake and exhaust.
