i been looking around at : http://www.fastestfwdstreetcars.com/

really cool website... but the question i have is... how much power are these guys making to run those times?

i know that power is only half the game, and driving and chassis setup matter just as much... but assuming a decent driver and chassis setup... what does it take to run those times in a decently light civic? my car probably weighs around 2400 with driver.

thanks

 

My car weighed 2475, and i made about 560whp, 10.5's

 

thanks for the reply, 1st hand information is always the best.... mind if i ask what size slicks you used?

 

25x8x13's

Hey Ron, in what tranny were you using this tire for? was it GSR?

 

stock gsr , not even a diff in that bitch......

 

Stock Gsr, stock diff, stock axles, stock struts, boo yaa

 

you know that GSR tranny is great for the 1/4. i'm thinking about dumping my LS and getting one also.

lol I need to get me some of that "boo yaa" stuff

 

wonder if my tranny could hang with 10 second time slips... M2A4 prelude trans w/ Quaife and Tilton twins.

 

the tranny will hold up as long as you dont abuse it.... get a ecu that you can wire up a full throttle shift to cut the ign when you shift, that will save the syncros..... h22 trannys hate power shifting... i blasted 2 apart w/my single cam in my prelude last year.

 

My old car weight 2030 with driver ran 10.42 @136. 510WHP.

 

hmm, theres another crx here that dynoed 410whp and is trapping 133, weight about 2050-2100 with driver... were you spinning alot?

He's more like 2300 with driver. I think the reason he trap 133mph, is due to LS tranny.

 

My old civic coupe (92-95) ran a few 9.9's @ 145-148 with about 510-530 to the tires. Weighed 2150 with me in it.

 

hmm, dayumnnnn 510hp @2030lbs would be like a low nine!!! imagine tryin to hook that one up

 

i went 10'6 about two years ago in texas with 350 to the wheelss at 137mph. i dynoed on a mustang dyometer.

 

we went 10.6 @ 138mph @ 420 whp

 

with a 1950 pound car I went 10.2 with 443hp at the wheels at something like 4000ft elevation.

 

Look as if 510whp+ is the boosted whp needed, what it for us N/A folks? 280-300ish?
