New 1/4 for Stock CLS 6sp HELP!

38 degrees outside

R.T.-------1.1848 (O shit was that light on?)
60ft------2.4294
330ft-----6.3354
1/8ET----9.5401
1/8MPH--77.26
1000ET--12.2632
1/4ET-----14.5901
1/4MPH---98.12

14.5901 @ 98.12

I hit a 14.6055@ @ 97.23 on my first run ( first run ever ) and then lowered tire pressure after that to 25PSI on both fronts and was doing the same all night. Lots of 14.7s and 14.6s . My 60 ft times are terrible and I don't know what else to do about it. Maybe someone can give me some pointers. I think I should be hitting somewhere around 14.50 if I could just get my launch down to 2.3 something. I'm dropping the clutch at around 3500 and I was doing best with that. Tires squeal a lot but that's expected I guess.

Best RT ------- 0.6236
Best 60FT ---- 2.4294
Best 1/8ET --- 0.5401
Best 1/8MPH - 77.50
Best 1/4MPH - 98.42

What tire pressure should I be running at?
What should I be launching at?
What 60 fts are the best anyone has done here stock?
What about 1/4ET and 1/4MPH, best for stock 6sp?

Thanks everyone

u could def shave some time off the 1/4 if you get better 60 foots, 3500 might be to hard of a launch. but i dont think its possible to get a 2.1 60 foot on the stock michelins, me personal best is a 2.36

Civic....dont get mad about those 60' times, ive been trying for months now to get lower one's on stock tires, and i dont think its possible....nice traps though....w/I/H/E i trapped 100, but thats the best i could manage, but now i trap 108 w/spray, so i would have to say try the I/H/E routine....or go straight to the nitrous...i personally like the I/H/E first b/c you have more power when your bottle isnt full , but you can kick some serious ass when that bottle is full

yeah... one of our friends in Dallas ran a 2.16 60' with his new rims/tires. I'm really hoping this summer I can work and get myself a set of wheels/tires. Then with some I/H and a bottle I can hit 13s.

yeah....im hoping maybe for my b-day in April i'll get a little bit of cash to put towards some new tires...rims maybe, but definitely tires...i think w/better tires, you can get into the 13's w/just I/H...Hell TypeR trapped 13.7@101, so i think a 13.9 is definitely possible, plus Allmotor claims to have run 13.9@99,so who knows..im hoping to be the first CL in the 12's

that's great man... congrats...

I forgot to mention something...
I'm a dumbass...


I ran with 2 hampers of laundry in the trunk (was gonna do laundry before I left Austin) as well as my spare and a 10 lb metal bar for a shelf in my room that I was gonna go buy screws for to mount on my wall... hehe... it was a last minute trip to the track...

not a TON of weight but about 50 lbs for all that stuff I suppose...

DOH! next time I'mma gut this puppy before I go...

oooo I misread his comment on your thread about your new 1/4 mile time...

Anyways.... who ran a 13.9 @ 99 in a STOCK 6spd. That's a little tough to believe.

Where's this 6spdDream moron? I'll throw some slicks on and smack his derriere with a 13.7. Then the next weekend, throw the turbo on and smack him again with something much better

Steve... just run him and shut him up!
read it as that he ran a 13.9 stock hehe another stupid move by me...

yeah that was my friend's Integra LS Turbo running 10 lbs of boost... Dynos at 220 fwhp and 210 ft lbs... He coudln't get traction through 1st and 2nd gear... We finally borrowed some slicks and he put down a moderate 14.2 time. He didn't know how to burn them up correctly...
