Default A Good Day For SOHC's!!!!

Well, I just got back from the track tonight, and have finally got some decent runs on the car. My fastest was a 15.395, and I'll look later what the trap was (I'm tired!!)
Keep in mind that this is at 4700 ft. altitude, so you sea-level guys can't appreciate that. Oh, btw, this is in a 94' civic ex, 14b.

Anyway, what really blew me away was another civic down at the track. He ran a 11.8......with a sohc z6!!!. Get this: he is putting down 430 hp with stock sleeves!!!. It's got SRP pistons, I don't know what kind of rods, and a SC-61 (how the hell that thing spools is beyond me) running no less than 30 psi!! I ---- you not.

I'm sure there will probably be a post on Honda-Tech by Courtney Green, the tuner, so I will look and try link something.

Thats sweet with the Z6 setup. Kid probably stole the idea from HMT

Hope you get better times soon. If thats NA, thats not actually all too bad. GL!

You guys dont realize elevation is a killer on times. Go to LACr with a gsr swapped crx low 15's is what you'll get. Drive 60 miles down to Pomona run mid 14's. His passes at sea level are most likely mid 14's

lets hope so.. 15.395 is horrible for a turbocharged civic. unless its under 6 psi then i can see it.

My GSR with an AEM CAI hit a 16.2, and that was pushing it like a ****. Most other GSR's up here in denver last year were running high 16's low 17's. Altitude sucks ***
