power steering belt. Put the belt back on when you leave the track. It's the little things that make power and lower times.

Yes I sure. You over inflate tires for less rolling resistance. Less resistance means lower times. Don't forget to reset your tire psi before you leave the track.

I ran a 17.8 in my auto with intake/headers/RT-cat/exhaust without the nitrous.
You should get in the 17's as well.
Higher end should feel better after you put those in.

...and yes, overinflate.

Wow thats pretty crappy times you ran with I/H/E,was the air bad or something?I have I/H/E/C and high flow cat,and my g-tech times are consistently around 16.0-16.1,i have tested it many times and i'm hoping after the BBTB i'll be in the 15's.

How about using the money to swap the auto out for a 5-spd. Then get the rest.

All the mods you wanna buy with an auto is not worth the money.

How can your car run 15.7 in the 1/4 mile when your country is metric? hahaha

yeah, really bad time...It was a very bad day to go to the track... Rained that afternoon and tires didn't grip well. Humidity was terrible and it was in hot Georgia heat. My friend in his 2k integra (base model) did exactly the same time with the same modifications as my car.

I didn't mention that I ran a 15.9 the same night with the nitrous. But that was spraying off the line, losing traction all through first, and hitting the rev limiter... sad.gif
but 5k miles later, the motor's still fine.

so all in all, i think it was worth the money tongue.gif

(He said 15.7-ISH)
