Nitto 450's @ 20psi
in between runs i but a bag of ice on my intake mani. didnt know if it made a difference but i saw this trick done back in the day at sears point
This run I ran a SRT-4 and I beat his 60'ft but by 1/8 mile he sucked me up and pulled a 14.7 he was a shitty driver.
Anyone think i cound have broke into 15.5's with my set-up? The rest of the night i was pulling crappy *** 60'fts in the 2.3's and was pulling 15.8's
will post time slips when i get them scanned later tonight.
Let me know what you guys think...

running open header on a D is probably doing more harm than good. You have no torque... ONce you hit the top end, yeah, you ahve power, but if it takes forever to get to the upper end of the gear, what's the point?

when you're draggin, you're never below 4k that's why you want to run open header. you lose low end but gain top. doesn't matter what motor you're running. But anyway, if you wanna break into the 15.5 with your setup try resetting your ecu by plugging the ecu fuse and putting it back in. then advance your timing. also what octane fuel are you running? i know it doesn't really matter with n/a cars but if you advanced your timing you should use a bit higher octane fuel to be on the safe side.

my buddy with a 99 ex did this when i told him to. he was running 18s all day and after advancing his timing and using a little race gas, was able to muster up a few mid 17 runs.

I can agree there...

 

SHADYED9 - (shawn) Has a '91 Crx si with 202,000 miles

Pulled out a 10.1 In the 1/8 Mile with just axle back exhaust and homemade cai
Thats a Motor for you

 

that kinda sux...i did a 14.8 with my d16z6, catback tanabe, short rammy.

 

nice job on your 1/4 time. thats good for the small things that you have done.

 

Seems like a pretty good time to me. Nice job

 

That seems like a decent time concidering it was a Del Slo . Weight being the factor.

 

good run

nice

 

nice work on it though, my buddy nicknamed "hanson" ran a 15.0 with a sohcvtec in his vx just a muffler and a short ram, the motor always seemed very very strong though

In what? A hatch with nothing in it but your seat?

 

That's not too bad.
