I only got 15.007" with my JDM B16A in EG5.. I was pissed off cause I had pulled 15.024" (prepped track surface) with stock intake and no short shifter etc.!!! broken front lower (passenger's side) mount not helping..
on my 1st run (against KB) when I pulled 15.007", KB was EXACTLY the same time as me at the 330' mark (6.520)after he pulled a 2.412 60' to my 2.510.
ALL HAIL GOD OF SOHC TAK KB.. BOW DOWN !!!.. DO IT NOW !! I SAID NOW !
AFAIK that car does also come with another "vti" too - SOHC with 80ish kws....so its a mistake :pQuote:

I think my stock clutch is almost dead aslo, i was launching up to 6000RPM with next to no wheelspin - tho my tyres were down to 15psi and I think they may have been too low and actually causing rolling resistance.. who knows.. the only thing I got out of it was that I think there was a 0.2" gain as the track at DRAG-WARS when I got the previous time was surface-prepped while it was not on the weekend.
but man KB is the King of n/a D-Series !!
some pics are on our forum and will be posted to the club website ASAP.Quote:
