Rep Power: 281 Went to Test N Tune last night BIG suprise
Went out to No Problem Raceway in Belle Rose,LA. it was a really really humid night, very hot. there were more street cars than i thought so it was fun gettin to race alot of them. among those were 3 rsx-s's another black 7thgen, 350z, srt4 etc etc. i have never seen the rsx run in person and my god, these had to be the worst drivers ever. None of them were able to get lower than a 16.2. The last race of the night for me was against one and he ended up running a 17.7
I still cant believe how crappy their times were. anyways my best was 16.3. heres the numbers from the slip..
r/t .057
60 2.339
330 6.726
1/8 10.431
mph 66.01
1000 13.658
1/4 16.382
mph 82.66
mod list:
'02 lx 5 speed
headers
generic muffler
15" eagle alloy rims
not sure what kinda tires
i'm shootin for 15.9-16 flat still gotta get used to the new rims. jsut thought i would let you guys know about my night.

Rep Power: 0 hate to burst your bubble... but 16.3 sounds amazing considering your trap speed.
My 86 300zx N/A trapped at 87mph and best was 16.2. With a trap speed of 82 I would expect mid 17's... IMHO

Rep Power: 0 Well he might be going with what other people are doing and not changing the intake so he doesn't lose power in one end.

Rep Power: 0 Yes, the Test-N-Tune nights are loaded with people. My best time is in my sig. I havent been out there in a while. Too damn busy with summer school. Good times, understanding the conditions.

Rep Power: 281 i didnt know what kinda tires i had cuz i never looked at em and was too lazy to go outside and look but i decided to go look. They are Federal Super Steel (185/55/15)
i didnt buy these, they were my friends rims and we decided to trade.
as far as launching, 5500-6k rpms was the area i was in. also decreased pressure in the tires. how could i improve my launch? i dont have an intake because i havent bought one yet. didnt think it was worth the money for little gain that i might see.

^^ so you're saying 16.3 isnt possible at 82 mph?
i also ran
16.557 @ 82.06
16.858 @ 80.21
17.032 @ 79.55
my worst reaction time was .476 best was .012 but i missed second hard and ran a 17.7
