AEM CAI
HP 4-1 header
HP racing downpipe no cat
Full catback
AEM pulleys
its gonna be on my stock tires b/c i took my 17's off for winter soon. I ll let you no what i run later tonight. Wish me some luck

K-lx is right, 15's is going to be tough to get...time to gut the interior!

And do what I did...donate blood. If you race within 5 hours, your body doesn't regain the fluids and you can be a pound lighter! j/k

But definitely remove everything you feel you won't need and comfortable with pulling out of your car...it may help a little bit, but not a whole lot [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Good luck mang!

don't expect high 15s, stlvtec. i ran up there at the beginning of summer on stock firestones and i got 16.23 was my lowest. but u got more mods than me, so you should do better, good luck. if i have to give you one advice, its deflate your front tires just a little.

Don't get your hopes up too high. You may be diappointed. I don't have the mods that you do but based on the cars I smoke on the street I thought I would run a lot fast3r than I actually did my first time. I also consider myself to be a competent driver, and thought I knew what RPM to launch at. I will tell you that the stock FireRocks will severely limit your launch, more so on the track surface than on the street.
15s are possible, especially with your mods so I wish you good luck and await your times.

Yeah nevermind on going to the track the guy that was supposed to run with me, he has a 98 civic ex, couple bolt ons, punked out, He says he doesnt want to go get kille by everybody, who gives a ##$% , i just want to see what i run but nope. So I guess ill be waiting till next year, if i still have this car.
