Wtf!!!.....15.1 1/4 Mile:(
SO I RAN MY CAR TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME.
I HAVE A 2003 CL TYPE S WITH 68K MILES AND THE AUTO TRANNY. I PUT 93 OCTANE LIKE ALWAYS AND ONLY HAD HALF A TANK, AND IT WAS ABOUT 50 DEGREES OUTSIDE HERE IN FLORIDA. I ROASTED THE TIRES WITH THE VRS OFF, THEN I LAUCHED AT ABOUT 3K WITH IT OFF. SHIFTED AT 7K AND WAS ONLY IN 3RD WHEN I CLEARED.
THE FIRST RUN WAS A 15.19 AT 92MPH, AND THE SECOND RUN WAS AGAINST A COMPTECH 2000 ACCORD, AND I RAN A 15.1 AT 93.3MPH, BOTH HAVING A REACTION TIME OF .42. I THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD GO A LITTLE FASTER, LIKE MID TO HIGH 14'S, BUT I GUESS NOT. I HOPE MODS MAKE A DIFFERENCE, CAUSE THERE WERE COBALT SS'S WITH INTAKE AND EXHAUST RUNNING 14.1'S AND THEY WERE LAUGHING AT ME....NOT GOOD TIMES
ANYWAYS, JUST WANTED TO SHARE MY STORY, AND IF YOU HAVE ONE, LETS HEAR IT

a buddy of mine has a 1999 TL-P and ran a 15.0 last season with intake, headers, and no resonator. 15.1 doesn't sound right for a type-S.

Intake Manifold Runner Control.
It's this lil thingy that opens up the secondary plenum that creates a supercharging affect in the intake manifold.
It is sitting right behind your intake manifold. to test it, have a buddy rev the engine up to 3800 rpms and you see and here it click. then you'll know it works...if you see no movement...it needs to be replaced.

Next time you go to the track have less gas in it. I usually make sure that the gas light is on when i get to the track and only put enough race fuel in when i get there for my runs. Half a tank of gas is an extra 70 or so pounds of weight, and with how much our cars weigh we nee all the help we can get. I even take out the spare tire.

If you go to the track and pay money to run you want to get the best times possible. Some people are just really competitive. When I am at the track and all the little punks are talking up their Sentra's, Civics, and neons, with fart cans and everything made at auto zone to glue, or tape to their little cars I want to be sure their times are no where close to mine.

How the fuck is that stooping to their level??? Taking the spare tire out and having less gas in the tank is hardly stripping your car. I make changes to my car that could improve times. They stick any shit they can get onto their cars so their car looks "cool" or sound like it should be fast. Its not just about how much power you can make it is how you use the power. Its about the ratio of power to weight. Sorry if i hit a sore spot with you cltypeslow..... You must have some of those auto zone mods done to your ride......

I never torque-braked when I took my CLS to the drags. Just launched at idle. Always seemed to yield better 60 ft times and, obviously, better 1/4 times. Then again, I was supercharged and launching off idle would have just fried the tires.
It's lame those Cobalt SS's were laughing at you when their times were still in the 14's. Get a blower and you'll never get laughed at again!

you are much better off just running leaving it in D5 and slammin the gas right out the box from idle.

the main key is to not powerbrake because its not really going to help you at all seeing as how the car isnt rwd.

i could be wrong tho i cant remember who has the top times for the 5at on the boards. you could always shoot a little 50 or 75 shot with intake, header, exhaust and pulleys. that would prob get you there.

Would you assclowns cool it?
AARONSredTYPE-S, here is a post I did recently about the IMRC, there is even a video link however it is a RealPlayer vid. You'll need to have relaplayer downloaded to view it. I suggest doing so even if you just uninstall and delete it afterwards to clearly understand the IMRC and see it funtioning. I believe it's activated at 3800 RPM and it is, in no way, related to Vtec. Also, when it is funtioning, your car will not start to suddenly pull harder at 3800 RPM like it's F/I'ed or anything, it will just keep pulling hard all the way thru the rev band.

If your cars feels slow, definitely check this.
Goodluck.
