okay i went to the track in my new car, eg hatch with only front seats and lexan windows, gsr, skunk2 manifold and was running 22x8x15 slicks. my 60 ft sucks ***** and the lowest i could run it was a 15.4 when the old owner ran it 8.2 in the 1/8th mile. i would pull up to the water box and spin them a little, pull up about a foot out of the box and just burn them in second with the E-brake on until it started to pull me. let off, stage, and rev to 7000. green i would drop the 6 puck clutch and it would spin them and i would shift at around 85-9000 and it would bog to 3000 once in second then pick up from there. the other two runs i tried launching at 6000 and 6500 with the same result. anybody have a tips or advice on what psi or rpm to launch at?
my slip:
R/T .546
60' 2.632
330' 7.068
1/8 10.466
MPH 72.55
1000 13.314
1/4 15.493
MPH 93.46

please any help would be very helpfull

peg it off the rev limiter and use the ebrake to preload your suspension.

that is a consistant low, low 15 to high 14 time slip. i would suggest running on street tires and seeing what it will do. i know my old n/a 15.5 run was only at 88mph. but my 60 time was a 2.4. when i went turbo i never got a chance to run slicks so i cant be much of a help to you there. but i do knwo street tires are not somethign you want o launch hard with!

on 22" slicks u should be able to get at least 1.8 60' Do a nice fatty 2nd gear and u should be good to go. 2.6 60' would be shitty even on free beef tires

you need more practice- my first day at the track with my new car (and 1st fast manual car) about a week after buying it

EG Si
Full Interior
DC 4-2-1, 2.25" piping to stock muffler ( )
street tires (yok ES 100) on gsr webs
OBD-1 GSR w/ skunk2 IM

pulled a 15.7 by the end of the day, and before I put in the big cams I managed to pull a 14.8 out of my ***, but this was open header with no rear interior and I knew more about tire pressures and improved my 60' by a ---- ton

lexan windows and slicks? i say low 14 once you learn to drive it.

when you burnout on slicks, you BURNOUT. rev-limit clutch drop and keep it floored until you cant see out the side windows. and I don't think you full wrapped out 1st gear when you are shifting. a gsr trans going from 1st @ 8k to 2nd, shouldn't drop below 5k, with no bogging at all. on steelies i chirped 3rd gear pretty easily with the stock cams

i might go friday again and work on the launch. i was shiftign at around 8.5-9 and it would just bog hard. the pressure is at 10 psi on the slicks. might try just launching off the rev limit

You are launchinf to high, I ran a 15.3 at 91 mph in CRX with a B18b, first time at the track, i tried to launch at 4k and did what you did a bogged into second, my last run for the 15.3 I still spun but I launched around 2k....I'd say start launching from @ and work your was up till you find a good medium, but its better to launch low than just spin your wheels, just takes some practice i need to go again, I'm hoping to get my times to 15 flat or high 14s with better launch and a good tune up which my motor needed bad

whats the setup?? i hope its not turbocharged :P
