I havent taken it back to the track with the 8 psi because i am awaiting a better clutch. And i havent dyno'd it because it cost us $100 for the pull to give you guys numbers last time, and we are waiting for this new shop to open up and have it done there.
The SRT-4 is only 14.0 sec at sealevel with a pro driver. I was already running low 15's with the stock crap still on my car, and the people at the meet saw me take a 14.5 sec accord on juice. I am pretty sure it wasnt an evo, but i had to mension it because maybe he was just a really bad driver. lol.

oh yea, a BOV isnt a mod. It is just a little valve the opens and goes "woosh". Ask SFpower. He is the god of all turbo around here, and he didnt think it to be much of a feat to beat one.

I didn't say the BOV was a mod.. I said if they have a BOV they are probably slightly modded as in a MBC or something similar.

better recheck your info. SRTs have hit 13.8s stock without a pro driver. Hell I've hit 14.1 at 101 in mine with a shitty track prep stock at 1200 ft in phoenix and I don't consider myself a pro driver. Again I don't believe this story, nice try.

To add to that 14.5 is not 14.0.

True, I'm not arguing with you there. I'm just calling BS because I've seen what SRT's can do. I've also seen what turbo civic's can do. I don't believe alot of any story from anyone unless they have slips or video. Some SRT's claim to be EVO's from a roll, I call BS on that too. Its just a matter of proof.

also, we werent going from a dead stop so its all about top end, which is what i have the most abundant of. My car is insane on the freeway. The SRT will take me off the line and through second, but i catch up in 3rd. Just like the RSX-s on juice i raced. He won through the first 2 gears, but by 3rd i was catching him very quickly when he was still squeezing.

I never said i would take one from a stop. I said we were all cruizing and downshifted. Never once did we stop.

I've run 14.0 stock in mine with +90 temperatures and I'm nowhere close to a pro driver. Add a boost controller and you're looking at high 13's.

SRT 4's are front wheel drive and don't do well off the line. They are 40mph roll monsters. I'd really like to see how your car compares to one. Let us know what area you are in. I'm sure we can find an SRT 4 for you to run.

I have the slip at home. Give me 2 hours to get home from work and I will get it and post a scan. I shouldn't have posted that without providing the slip. I'll take care of it.
