My 1/4 times from last night

I went to Portland Raceway last night and got 4 runs in.... I have a 02 EX coupe 5 speed with DC Sports TCS, Injen CAI and DC Sports short shift adapter...

1st run - 16.6 @ 84.01
2nd run - 16.5 @ 83.84
3rd run - 16.4 @ 84.19
4th run - 16.3 @ 84.33

Are these good times or should I get lower times?

my best 60' was 2.502 which I got in the last run. My elevation is not very high. Maybe 20 feet

you definitely need to lower those 60' times and work on good reaction times (your takeoffs). both pave the way for a good ET. try launching at different rpm's to reduce spinning off the line and maximizing your traction. that is a big factor in your 60' time-->work your way down to very low 2.4's/high 2.3's and you'll see the difference in your 1/4

Thanks for the advice... I was having major traction problems. I'll try reducing my RPM's next time

I Genrally drop ym clutch at about 3800RPMS.. any lower..I get the Evil bouncines.s.any higher..I get too much spin..not enough traction..

I have an Unmodded DX Sedan with about 250+Lbs of sound dydtem and I run between 16.94(finally a better time) and 17.18 . Might not sound too fast. But I have less horses, more weight, no mods.

Cheers

I have pretty similar mods, Get your 60' into the 2.3's and you will be in low 16's. My best was a 16.0 @ 87MPH, w/2.38 60'

You should be able to get better than that i am sure
i got a 5 speed EX STOCK no nothing with a system and i was running on bald tires ( i think wiht better traction i could have gotten a better time) and my best time was a 16.8 i am goin to go back and see what i run with my 17's next
if you get ur R/T down it should drop your run time
i was able to get a .7?? R/T but i was spinning my wheels all the way into 2nd so i had no good traction
BUT IT WAS FUN
