0-60 time is very very tough to measure accurately. The best way to measure gains are either a dyno or running a timed 1/4 mile. Check out Jim's post as he posted the gains in the 1/4 mile... then you should be able to speculate as to the 0-60 times....

0-60 is not where headers shine. On the highway IMO is where they earn their money.

the headers may not show their true power from 0-60, but i can honestly say that i KNOW my 0-60 is improved with just these headers, starting from 0 mph, you are in first gear, you go through VTEC and then back down to a lower RPM when it switches to 2nd gear, then back up into the high profile of VTEC, so from 0-60, you will hit the HIGH RPMS twice, so the headers definately have some room to shine from 0-60.

60 degrees, 91-octane. 1/8th tank (jack and spare in car)

Average of two ways rounded to a tenth: Original stock 0..60 == 6.4sec


60 degrees, 91-octane. 1/8 to 1/4 tank (jack and spare in car)

With AEM CAI, Comptech headers, 17x8" SSR wheels and Toyos T1S 235/45-17 (each wheel/tire is around 12-14 lbs lighter than stock).

Average of two ways rounded to tenth: 0..60 in 60-degree temps 5.7-5.8.

I've gotten lower with the 100 octane added.

The light wheels are worth about 0.2 seconds in a 0..60 (there is another member with just the SSRs and he was running about 6.0 seconds to 60 with just the wheels and tires at 60 degrees).

It depends on the temperature outside...

Figure 0.2 second off in 40-60 degree temps. You might get a tenth in 80-100 degree weather.
