why do you say that?...the 106 means it's already there...close anyway...a 1.8 60 is what it would take....and that can be done...and yes acctually those mods may just be real close to another 35 hp....

Drop your 60' by .1 means .2 in the ET. You'll need to run a 1.7 60' all else equal. (I'm sure you know this already)

I'm at 300whp and trapping between 106-108. 10whp usually means 1 tenth and 1 MPH in our cars (based on my experience).

typeR

so i go 1.8 in the 60 and pick up 20 whp...

darrinb

u know how many whp your running right now typeR??

typeR

last dyno was 255/222
i would guess in cold weather at 275/245

darrinb

hmm, thats like at least 20whp less than mr.steves car but you guys are running = times with his trapping higher

typeR

my cars probablly 150lbs lighter than his

Joe5.0

Yeah, but I dont think Steve has ran sub 2.0 60's like Type-R has, thats where the extra couple tenths come from.

And you should just juice it and run some mid 12's type-r

His 60's are only a few hundredth's of a second faster. Although they seem to be quite consistant and I've only got one 2.000 60' under my belt. But that was my very last run of the season. We'll see if I can hit a 1.9 soon.

ACL's friendly 1/4 mile competition is awesome

darrinb

u gonna go for some light weight wheels and summer tires steve??

I was thinking about it. But the car will most likely hit 100k miles by September-October and I've decided i'm pretty much done with uber expensive mods (unless I decide to beef the tranny). I'm looking at picking up a set of the TSX Silver Star OEM optional wheels.

I know enough people that own RSX's that have spare rims lying all over the place that if I wanted a set of 16's to mount some DRs I could without a problem though, so I might try that later this year.

Before you buy 16" wheels try to find some 16" dr's. I couldnt find any that were still in production when I bought my 17" dr's.

mrsteve

Yeah that's my current problem. I might just get some SUPER sticky soft tires for them. I won't be buying the wheels, just the tires.

Joe5.0

I know that Hoosier makes some 16" dr's, they just came out.

https://www.hoosiertire.com/Drtire.htm

Nitto makes their dr's in a 245/50/16, and I think both Nitto & BFG used to make their dr's in a 225/50/16.

Good luck

I wish I could find a 225/50. There aren't any good ones out there. Maybe some Kumho tires.

The Hoosier's are like slicks. I'm almost afraid to run them because I fear breaking something.

Joe5.0

Dont even bother with anymore street tires, at your power levels its redundant.



Or try to find some lightly used Nittos or BFG's in 225/50's.

And I dont see how you could really hurt anything with drag radials, unless you are doing some high rpm neutral drops. Basically you are just resolving the wheelspin, and being able to go WOT sooner, since you wont have to modulate the throttle.

Sorry, old thread but awesome!!! What was your tire pressure F/R ?

Nice Job

Great results!

I actually have access to a set of those now.

Joe5.0

Sweet, I'm sure they hook like crazy compared to street tires.

m&b6speed

what brand/size are those??

mrsteve

iTrader: (1)

They are Hoosier's. I believe 225/50/16.

m&b6speed

cool thanks you gonna put those mint green rims on your cl at the track?

mrsteve

iTrader: (1)

yeah they are my buddy's track wheels. Painted them just to make them a little different. He doesn't go around driving like that on the street.

m&b6speed

yeah i wouldnt think so, that CF lip and sideskirt are hot
