So I finally ran my car but it was on a eight mile
My times sucked which I figured since it was my first run ever but even more disappointing is I let a tech at a shop I know take it for a few runs and he managed to run slower than me.....
60' = 2.15
1/8th = 9.18
mph = 79
That was my final run......and best....I figured that out and it equates to a 14.10 .... I was hoping for low 13's In my defense The car is still untuned since the HCI and my car was running @220ish degrees on all the runs....I need a aluminum radiator as my next mod and my fan gave out yesterday but I didnt know untill after my runs. I am also running on the stock tires. I cut 4 2.1 60 foots in a row so I guess thats all I can hope for there...I still have stock suspension so I wasnt expecting to much....I know not to expect to much on your first runs out there but I dont see how I can improve that much since I already cut 2.1s and dont see them getting much better.....The tech ran a 9.2 and cut a slightly lower 60 on his runs with it. I am hoping a tune will fix the a/f and then some nittos and control arms will get me low 13's...I am on a quest for 12's how do I get there????
Now for the good news.....I ran the car 8 times and beat every car I faced inlcuding....
-A 2003 RSX type S with a CAI and exhaust ..he ran a 10 flat
-Jetta 1.8 Turbo......he has exhaust and ran low 10's...
-a civic hatch with the usual civic goodies...he ran low 10's
- and my prized possesion ..... a 2000 Prelude Vtech with a Blower and 8 pound pulley.....he ran high 9's to my low 9's...
I warmed the tires before each run....
I had full wieght in the car...(spare and jack, junk in the trunk (15lbs))
Also I havent set my timing back since the HCI so I assume it was at 10 degress ...... which would help me run better if it was 14....
PS the track was crap I spun all through first and half of second and still ripped a 2.2 60 foot.....

I prefer a little heat in it and 180* or lower.
