Naw man, you and everyone else who are the diehard contributors in this thread know who you are. As I spent over an hour going through the entire thread, getting everyone who had ever contributed to it, or gave a compliment to the build, it was pretty evident as to who my peeps are!

What was your average reaction time? Based on the videos man thats what you need to work on....That escort that you faced looks similiar to one I took on and yep it smoked my a$$...it was on such poor exterior condition I didn't think it was going to run long enough to make it too the start line...but looks can be deceiving!!!!
Re: Boosting 9 psi at the Track - Vid on Pg. 76!! - The Speedfoos' Turbo Install Thre
woo hoo i made the credits haha n i love the crack about ur in laws givin u a wife who doesnt ask how much it all costs lmao i love it foos ur lookin good n lik everyon else has said ull get the hang of the reaction time n launches n all that n we'll see u runnin low 14's soon enough
Re: Boosting 9 psi at the Track - Vid on Pg. 76!! - The Speedfoos' Turbo Install Thre
I'm gonna watch it again too man!
My average reaction time was just short of "really awful". It's definitely one of the things I need to work on. I think not waiting until the green light goes on will help a lot too! I will be practicing over the next few weeks, that's for sure!

Ok, so I go to the in laws for the the weekend and come back to 47 new posts.
I love the video, I go to Enis every year when NOPI is in town. I have never had the courage to get out there on the track. You put the Civic on the track you first visit. +1 for you.
Also, as everyone has said leaving on the green is bad, and if you are on treaded street tires drive around the water box. If you drive threw it you will get water in the tread, this will fly off as the tire begins to spin and cause even more spinning. So slicks = water box, DOT radials = NOT.
Plus as Chris has pointed out, you need to get to a Dyno. If not to find your max HP and TQ, to see the curve and to find your ideal shift points.
Lastly thanks for the mention in the credits, and for making me the only person on the entire thread that gets there picture in the Foos Production. It's not a full body shot ,just the head is mine. Still I am the only one. AND THAT IS COOL!

How did you get all those scratches on your face?
It looks like a cat attacked you or something.
