feeling good and actually performing good are two different things. Now if you have a dyno sheet proving it made more power, i'd like to see it.

I though people were just trying to ---- with me when they said they did that but one day I tried and pulled a better time.

And off the line I think your reving to high And doing a little sit n spin you have to be real carefull with your launch you have to get a feel for it your going to spin some but ever since it's na you can control it. Take of in first at around 4-5k and when it stop spinning and hooks up let the car pull through first before you shift to second.
then if you get a lot of runs in toy around with when you shift from third to fourth a lot of time if you rev third all the way out I actually get a slower times then shifting to fourth just a little early. because third will run out of gear and it will hurt your trap speed.
It all comes down to practice go ever weekend for a few weeks and you'll get it down.

I meen you just need to practice because I get 2.1 60s in my close to stock 92 accord after the ok 60 it still runs a 16.4 but I have about half of my turbo setup together and in another month should have it done.
thanks for the tips
