put your tire pressure at 22psi.

 

rv to 4k gently gradually let the clutch out, then continue mashing, dont shift all hard, the secret is firm yet supple.....

 

thnx all
ill post times tonite

 

cool... what mods do you have?

 

22psi? i have a set of toyo's usually at 44 psi.

 

yep 22

 

I wish I had the power to break loose my 7.5 inch thick tires. Even with torque breaking (auto tranny). I keep mine at 40psi. They say that 44 is the max, so I dont take it to the limit.

 

Quoting myself from my answer over in the competition forum:

 

You want high PSI like that for say a road circuit or auto crossing. Basicaly less sidewall deformation and tire squirm for crisper, tighter handling, transient response, all that. It's also okay on the street and can increase gas milage, at the expense of (maybe) some abnormal tire wear.
On the drag strip, you want low pressure (like the mentioned 22 PSI) so your tires just sag and basically put more rubber/surface area on the track. Any top fuel drag car you see on tv has saggy, deflated tires. Run the 1/4 mile with any more than 27~30 PSI and you'll be spinning like you're on ice (with an aggressive enough clutch drop). Oh well, I guess you're already at the track...

 

R/T 1.365
60 2.571
330 7.054
1/8 10.806
MPH 65.06
1000 14.040
1/4 16.760
MPH 82.72

best run shittest reaction..?

made the mistake of filling up too

That's about right. The best a full interior F22 Accord with bolt ons will do is low 16s. 15s with weight reduction and/or internal engine work.

 

or a 14.02 with the magical blue bottle (yes on an F22B1)...

:wink: :wink:

 

This may sound a little tricky, but here it goes.

When you trigger the second staging light rev your engine-3-4k(depending what your set up is).
Pull your E-brake as high as you can.
Let off the clutch slowly till the clutch starts to grab.
Then, when the light turns green lay into the gas and at the same time drop the e-brake.

I was at the local 1/8 today and managed some pretty decent times
rt 0.545
60' 2.341
mph 68.3
et 10.260

that is as good as I can get for now. most runs I hit 66-67 at between 10.3-.7
I lanch pretty consertively and stomp it until the shift lite comes on.
There was a 98-99 accord there with a supercharged H22 that ran a best 9.55 at75
He couldnt get the tires to hook up. I run 14's at the strip at 25r-28l. psi

14s what? Quarter mile?
A 14 second quarter should have you in the mid 9s on the 1/8th.

 

sorry I mean 14 inch rims for the drag strip. I wish I could run 14s
