Re: first time at track, need help with slicks
in that car with that setup ya that time and 60' sucks *** bad! I run low 14's in my ek 4dr man. with stock cams 12.5cr ls/vtec you need to lean how to lauch on that setup better. I would say around 7500 wot launch. you should run low 13's at least with that car. YOU ARE TUNED RIGHT? if not kiss that motor good by in a hurry.

Re: first time at track, need help with slicks
damn jeff i dont know what you're doing..
you gotta be really agressive with a NA car.. its not like a boosted car..
i was getting 1.84's with that car last season with an internally stock GSR motor.. then i installed the b16 pistons, the m24 cams and dual valvesprings and TI retainers.. skunk2 cam gears.. and all the other listed above..
tuned it and my buddy was driving it while i was tuning.. that thing pulled like crazy.
if you let rpm fall to far between shifts, its gonna fall outta vtec.. you have to shift really quick .
i wish i could come up to yakima to drive it for u..
btw, for those who dont know, i just sold that hatch to Jeff.
i've tried lowering the tire pressure on those slicks.. but the 7" wide slip streams felt like they were wallowing in mud at lower than 10 psi.. i usually put 12 psi on driver side and 10 psi on passenger side.. were u getting a pegleg burnout or burning off both tires?
the 15.3 is a result of the 2.6 60'.. maybe if ur willing.. let Cesar or Kenny try driving the car a couple timess see how they do.

Re: first time at track, need help with slicks
they were both spinning, i would spin it quick in the water then roll out of the water the just roast them in 2nd until it pulled me forward with the brake on. i think i might need to try and just roast them off the rims but it would just pull me to the line, lol.
i will try and shift faster next time maybe that is the prob.
hey rick email me the .bin if you have it so i can raise the limit and burn to a chip.
what do you think would be the best shift point and rev limit without messing the head up?

Jeff, i'll send u the bin, i was looking at it tonight .. rev's only at 8500.. so i think 9200 should be fine with the built head..
vtec was coming in at 4800.. i'd raise that to 5200..

In my d-series crx I was running m/h 22x8x13's on lenso's with 9-10 psi and was only launching at 5800rpm and had 1.87-1.9 60 ft times. I dunno, 2.6 60ft sux ***** even on street tires.
