well i have never in my 28 years been to a drag strip, and i decided to go tonight. heres the dissappointing story... maybe some of you guys can give me some advice about my driving and about the car.
i was at moroso (now officially palm beach international raceway) at sea level and about 70 degrees.
my reaction times suck and they vary a lot .819, .082, .668, .914, .482.... etc.. any tips here? i almost feel like i was thinking too hard about it on the tree... if that makes sense. my 60 ft times also sucked, i had a hard time getting traction, and i thought my toyo proxes4s were pretty good ... after airing down my tires to 25 psi i got down to 2.3 60ft a couple times in a row. and thats still not great.
and about the 1/4 mile times....
for one thing, my car is slow. i knew it was slow but its slower than i thought. its a b20z block all stock internals, the b16a head has gsr cams and crower valvetrain. i have a knock off 4 into 1 header, no cat, and a crappy 2" muffler shop exhaust, with a resonator and quiet muffler. on the intake side its a hondata im gasket, oem type r im and tb, with ebay piping. clutch is weak and slipping a little bit, but im not going to blame that too much. transmission is a gsr with open diff, nice smooth shifting tranny. ive got a fuel rail and fpr, the motor is untuned, running on a b20vtec basemap that seems to be a little rich. i couldnt even get out of the 15s i was between 15.2 and 15.8 every time. i was at 90mph all night. weak i know...
do you guys think its so slow mostly because of my driving, because its untuned, or what? could the 2" exhaust be choking it? any tips or suggestions?
