Practice practice practice and more seat time, I got down to a 16.11 from the 16.4X i ran last weekend. Heres the info on the slip:

r/t - .6526
60 ft - 2.4279
330 - n/a
1/8 ET - 10.3396
1/8 MPH - 67.32
1000 ET - n/a
1000 MPH - n/a
1/4 ET - 16.1158
1/4 MPH - 85.10

comparing that to last week's best:

r/t - .323
60 ft - 2.481
330 - 6.978
1/8 ET - 10.688
1/8 MPH - 66.49
1000 ET - 13.858
1/4 ET - 16.497
1/4 MPH - 85.77

So I guess I just need to keep practicing. If anyone has any tip2 from the numbers above, keep them coming.

 

what do you have done to your car?

I'm planning on going to the track tonite so I'm a newbie at drag racing also.

 

D16Y8 Del Sol ('97 Si)

I/H/E, FPR, b&m short shifter
kyb struts, coilovers
25 psi in front tires

I think I could pull a 15.9 if I could get my 60 ft down. I had a run last night where I had a 2.37 60 ft, but then I missed 3rd and ran a 16.7 I think that could have been a 15.9 or 16.0 run.....

 

geeez, i didnt know del sols were that heavy

 

yeah they are....2,400 plus some change without the driver

 

bump

 

This is a little depressing since my best is a 15.5 with b16a3. That was pre-boost of course.

 

Run with 19-20 psi in your tires and lower your '60's.

 

What size wheels were you running?

 

stock alloy 14's with michelen tires

I'm feeling somewhat satisfied considering that honda says a stock del sol si will run 16.7...but like I said, if I could get a tenth of my 60ft and figure out whats best to do top end (stay in 3rd or shift to 4th) i think i could see a 15.9, not too bad for a d series with bolt ons, stock drivetrain, street tires, no weight reduction...

bump for the day job h-t crew

 

seeing times liek yours in heavy car makes me think i can break in to the 15's with my d15b vtec :D

 

that's not bad at all. i remember someone else on these boards only running a 16.1 with a del sol VTEC (B16). just bring those 60' times down and you'll be in the 15s.
