Irratic runs probably due to silent tire spin and/or small off shift. As far as having more consistant runs in the lower range, cooling mods should help do the trick.

so your car ran a better time than any previous times, and you want to know whats wrong with your car??

plus there are a lot of other factors, temperature, humidity, 60'

i dont think there is anything wrong with your car.

now 1/8 mile 9.35 78.00 1/4 mile 14.40@98.02

someone explain how that statement makes it seems that the most recent time is slower?

how does 60' not matter? if i get a terrible launch and bog 1st, i will get a slower et. with similiar trap speeds, no?

John, I was at great lakes last night. the best I could do was a 14.83 @ 94.5mph. -2003 TLS w/ ur pulleys, ct headers, ct ice box, mugen cooling mods. You keep telling to do the exhaust, but I still think it won't make any difference.

john, get your car dyno'd again. something might show up on the graph when compared to an old dyno?

there are so many factors that come in play which is why no one has a good guess.

clean cl my 60ft. times are 2.26 to 2.30 that why I say it doesnt matter because thats what I am comparing it with

(Tommy gut 2) I still say when you do b-pipe and exhaust ,there were your time ,mph and dyno will change willing to bet you

CL FWD SPEED that is great to hear what was your mph?

Mike after I go to track ahain were going to put it on the dyno last dyno was 238hp197 torque really know differce from last dyno run thats why its telling me something is wroung.

i disagreed with the other guy saying you need a blower...your IK22's are alittle cold and i know you said you tried a random cat a while back but? what size piping? go with a car sound 2.25 and ill bet your top end will wake up w/o effecting your low end...also the knock sensor could be the culprit it is harmonic and any rattling could resonate at a frequency the sensor thinks is knock...it would require a honda tech to use there consult to see knock values and timing values while drving
