CL-S Back From The Track
A bit dissapointed, best run of the day was 14.485 @ 98.30 with a 2.300 60ft
Mods at the time are AEM CAI, XS Header, UR SS Pulleys, 2.5in Catback and a AFC tune with the NEO.
I think my 60ft is messing my times up, is 2.3 about right?
Track veterans please chime in, im brake torquing at 2k with practically no spin just grabbing, gateshifting at 7000rpm.

If you don't brake torque you dont get that big of a jump... btw my trap is 98.3mph, I should be running 14.1-14.2 with a trap that high right?

I know they will improve but I have no idea how to get a better 60ft, my launches were perfect? I stalled at 2k and barely spun at the launch, 1st gear felt so long even though I had it to the floor.... like my car has no torque AT ALL!
Another thing that is bugging the shit out of me is my transmission, the previous owner said it was replaced by one of his friends at the Acura dealership so I assume that I have the new PCM that is less aggressive and that was robbing me of my power but I called the local Acura dealership and they said it has never been changed before...... I WANT MY OLD PCM BACK! even my dyno numbers seem low hinting that my car isn't making the power that it should from the factory... what to do...

maybe the rims are slowing you down? you still ran decent though having an auto, and basic boltons. definately wouldnt torque brake your car though. it makes the tranny go crrrrazy...lol...try just gunning it with the vsa off and sport shift and see what happens

And I wasn't gunning it at the launch until I knew that the tires grabbed.

Im running Bridgestone S0-3 Pole Positions 225/40/18 and the tire pressure was lowered after a few runs resulting in a .3 drop in time. Im not quite sure of the weight on these 18s, they are made by Exel though.

Well how do you think I feel running 14.3's with a 102.X trap Traction kills
Part of your problem is the sidewall stiffness and lack of flex. Those 40 sidewall tires wont get you down the track quicker, trya thicker sidewall on a smaller rim. Ther have been times on the street when I managed to launch well on 205 tires on 16" steelies, back when the tires were new

Yeah definitely don't do the VSA off and gun, that way is guaranteed suck. When I had the 3G TL, a couple times having fun with other people at stoplights I left the VSA on, gunned it, and as soon as I felt no hop or spin turned it off. That seemed to produce fairly quick and full traction launches...could be worth a try? In my opinion torque-braking seems to bog things down whether VSA is on or not.

Wow you're right I totally forgot about that, what about 225/50/17 or 225/45/18? thats still the stock rolling diameter right? 235 might not fit

Stock diameter for 215/50/17 = 25.46in
Closest to stock in a 18" wheel is 235/40/18 = 25.40in
or
225/45/18 = 25.97in
or
225/40/18 = 25.08in
Anything larger than stock (within 0.5in) is gonna throw your speedo off by about 1-1.5mph (larger diameter = speedo reading < actual speed)

try brake torqueing around 3k. when you hear your tire peeling a bit, gently let go off the gas. Once you gain traction push the gas pedal to the metal...
street tires psi should be 28-32 at the F and 40psi at the back. depend how sticky. if you have coilovers, put the F&R on stiff and raise the back a tad.

As far as power braking goes, every car is different, so you will have to play around with it. Sometimes you can end up loading up the plugs. When you power brake you are putting more fuel in to the cylinder that you would otherwise. Meaning for the same throttle position you have when power braking at 2000rpm, the engine rpms might actually be closer to 3000 or better.
I know this is how it worked when I built engines and raced years ago, so I don't know how much it applies to these engines.
