i am going at the track this friday and maybe you guys could help a little bit to improve my times.
the track is at 3000 ft elevation (tucson AZ) so the times are kinda slow.
I have a 2002 lx stock.
best time 17.685 @ 76.840 2.628 rt:.432
2nd best:17.717 @ 77.06 2.645 rt: .677 (wheel hop)

i just got new yokohama tires and i was wondering if you guys had any tips

I bet a guy that had a 2000 ex and ran a 17.776

I lauched around 3.5k

thanks guys

Well, without a doubt you will get better times with an intake, headers and exhaust. But if your cheap like me and your trying to find cheaper mods heres a few:

the Thorttle Body Plate Edging

the Throttle Body Heater Bypass

the Throttle Cable

Thats all ive done so far, helps a lot. But then again i have an auto, so gains must be a lot more with standard transmissions =D

lol do the throttle cable at least, takes only like 3 minutes! I'll try and get a pic up for you by tonight on what mine looks like. Try some octane boost, that'll make ur car feel preppy. And as for tire pressure, just keep flatting your tires and launching to see what pressure holds up best so your tires dont buckle loose. Every tires different so theres no actually "good" psi rating anyone can give you.
