stay out of the bleach

rev to 3,000 rpms

drop the clutch when the third light starts to fade.

don't miss gears. it's better to shift slower and catch the gears than to miss a gear.

8s

DESPAIN

yep 8's is right. but i ran 2 low 9's. and a shit load of 10's...lol nobody told me i got to let my turbo cool off after each run. shit i kept running slower after each run. i thought i rip one of my i/c couplings and was leaking boost or something. then this lil'o' lady that was out there running this old firebird said are you letting her cool off between runs. i say no mam i am not. so i let it cool off a little bit and tada!!!! back to low nines. i really think i can run 8's though just need a little bit of practice. so any other info that i can use? going out there again this weekend. that was WAY BETTER THAN STREET RACING!!!! AND MUCH SAFER TOO.....

DOES ANYONE ON HERE GO TO THE TEXAS RACEWAY IN KENNEDALE,TX?>?????

congrats. sounds like you got the bug.

and yes dummy, you have to let your engine rest a little bit. i'm surprised you were able to turn around and race again. i've never been to an open track day where i didn't have at least 20 minutes waiting to race.

what size wheels are you running?

get slicks (or drag radials), an lsd, traction bar....you may be spinning the wheels a lot. what rpm did you launch at?

60ft is 60ft no matter what the length of the track lol. but yea sub 2s is good. Glad you had fun. I can't wait to get the Camaro and the GSX-R out there. gonna be a long time before the Si makes a trip down the 1320.

17" knoig wheels. generic tires, but they are made by cooper. yes i was spinng alot. i launched at differant rpm's. my best is when i launch at 3500 or 4000 rpm. then i dont spin as much.

mdpsEG

smaller wheels with more sidewall on the tires, and then aired down to 20-25 psi. should be able to get down to a 2.1 with a real good launch. to get a 60 ft of 2 seconds or less you will need lsd, slicks or drag radials, and possibly traction bars.

DESPAIN

i think i can hit 2 i have already hit 2.3

2.2-2.3 seems to be about as fast as you can get for fwd hondas on street tires and no lsd. at least from what i have seen.

95b16coupe

did you launch at 3000 rpm's like suggested?

sacrificing rpm's to get traction will hlep much more in the long run.

CAFROG

2.2 would be a really good launch/60ft on street tires. 1.8 is good with small slicks

Get a 2.2 and you'll see the results at the 1/8 mile for sure. 1/10 of a second at sixty foot can get 2/10 or more shaved off a the finish

I know this with 1/4 mile (no 1/8 mile tracks around me)

DESPAIN

haha no 1/4 mile tracks around me

You can't really load your turbo (spool it) too high with streeet tires....you'll just spin out at that high of an RPM.

Your launch RPM can vary. Are you dumping the clutch and to the floor with the gas? Or are you easing it to the floor? That will affect the launch. You can launch higher and ease the gas down.

You can also lower your tires psi down to about half its limit of psi to get a little more rubber on the ground (just fill up before driving home)

Use the e-brake to load the clutch and simultaneously drop the e-brake, dump the clutch and ease the gas pedal to the floor.

Just mess around and try different things

DESPAIN

i let all the air out of my tires.....15psi i think it was it seemed to help
