Default Need Help!!

I have a ls/vtec engine in a integra. The problem is that the car seems slow. I took it to the track and im running low 15s. I need some suggestion on what can be the problem. The setup is 11:1 piston, port and polished head with new springs and retainers, 90mm rods, usinig gsr head and 2.0 liters. It might be me driving also but i had my friend drive and he gets low 15s also.

Check your timing but be careful, you have high compression. Also check your valve lash. If the lash is too tight or too loose it can seriously kill power.

I readjusted my valves and I have this problem lining up my timing marks. The intake cam gear is one or two tooth retard. Does any know what other ls /vtec runs at the track?

Yea, what he said. Has the car been tuned yet? If not, find a good tuner and head to the dyno!
