those were my best. not too bad for a integra. these numbers were on mt 22x8 baby slicks and lauching at 7500 WITHOUT traction problems.

let me know what you guys think

 

i think i would have done better without a full tank of gas.. but i didnt plan on going..

 

SWEET, I see the slicks AND traction bars seem to have worked well for you! I'd say sign up for track day and run it there!

yeah, best money i have ever spent. i dont have the funds for this track day, but i will be at the next one for sure.

 

I went to Sunshine too ..

8.746 @ 83.9

I didnt see any other teggys out there . We were trying to get my buddies 99 GSR into the mid/high 7's but had some issues ..

 

wow they are still open?

 

i saw the orange skittle out there. was your buddys teg white?

 

btw.. i am all motor.

 

Are you kidding? I'm not trying to be a dick here but a 2.0 on slicks is horrible. To think you dont have traction problems when you run a 2.0 on slicks is funny. Please dont think i'm being a dick because he should have hit a 1.8 which is average. I think the problem is the pressure in the slick. Run your slicks at 7lbs. Then after your burnout you should be at about 9lbs. Which is still too much in my opinion but this will help. Once you get used to it like that lower it down to 6.5 or 6(what i run). If you launch tha car properly you should have no problem pulling a 1.7 or even a 1.6. Like anything it just takes practice. You times are not to bad bit think if you improve on the 60ft you will be in the 8's. When racing 1/8th mile you lose/win the race most of the time in the first 60ft.

 

This is a full interior Integra, all motor LS Vtec, and you really think a 1.6 60'? I think 1.8 at best, he's not even making 200 WHP. Come on man, I can agree on MAYBE a 1.8 but no way in hell a 1.6 man! I dont know man, maybe you can pull it down by putting less PSI in the tires. Ron did help me at track day telling me what PSI to run the tires at, but I don't think Brandon will pull his times down that much. Good luck however.
