I would not ever pull the hose I am not that dumb. I was just stating that there have been people who have done it and have run times like that without blowing up the car. I know the car in stock condition could not handle that kind of boost.

APEXi are the times you have listed on here still the times you run 15.2 @ 96? If so with mods you have so far the times still arent better than the bone stock eclipse or talon will run. It was just an observation I made.

Im up for that challenge that is when I get my new clutch in. Damn carparts.com when are you going to send me my clutch(been waiting two weeks so far)? I can probably do that now with the slipping clutch but I dont want to get stranded with a burnt out clutch. Who in their right mind would take the waste gate hose off and race? What year is your car AWDTSI?

What year accord?? if its 94 or newer EX=VTEC

Just wondering why do u all go out to sunshine?? I think 18 sucks race up to like 60 MPH and stop. The 14 mile shows the true race where ure going over 80 90 100 etc. Im getting right at 90 MPH for my trap speed with my nitrous lot better than 18 IMO. They need to make longer races for accords any1 up for a 13 mile track
