It's official! The B19coupe is in the 12's
We knew that the car was capable of 12's. Went to Carlsbad and made it official.
Best time was 12.884 @ 106.77 with a 1.800 60'. The car is capable of even better times, just needs a little tweaking (and a better driver
).

Thanks guys 
The motor put down 260 on a Dynapack-which is about 240-250 on a Dynojet.
The car is not light, and I am not the best driver. A better driver could probably shave 0.2-0.5 off the ET's. I have to build better motors to compensate for my so-so driving skills.

Todd, what gears are you running? What is the race weight of your car?
We had an RSX run 105-106 mph with 245 whp and it weighed in at 2800 with driver, so I'm thinking that maybe there's something in the drivetrain that isn't quite in sync with the rest of the car (unless you're shifting really, really slow to save the clutch and tranny
)

Re: (b19coupe)
O.k., forgot it was that heavy. Your trap speed isn't too far off then. I'd like to see 108+, but testing and tweaking can get you that. Now, we just need to find a way to lighten your coupe....I'm thinking sell it and buy a hatch j/k

Re: (C_A_T)
Slicks are 23X8X13.
C_A_T: working on lightening the car-looking to lose another 200 lbs. by June. Going to pull the JG and put the ITR IM back on for now-I think that there is about 0.1 second and 1-2 mph in the ITR IM over the JG looking at my sheets.
