I've thought about a puddymod diff as preventative maintenance. Plus they're pretty damn sexy.

wow. in the 13's stock. good driving. any chance remember what your 60 foot was? i think i can pull off 2.2 pretty easy. im excited!! post up some more stats guys. i really cant wait. i think im going friday too...i ordered a berk test pipe should be here by thursday.


my plan is to slip the clutch into a wheel spin..or just slip it fully. will probably launch at 6500 the first run...just let the clutch out a lil at a time. no hard impacts. thats how i ran my civic for years. stock clutch then an ACT. so it should be okaaaay...

input?

I did not launch that high, I belive my 60' was around 2.0 I dont think I ever got it in the 1.9 I was launching around 4000 and letting the clutch kinda fast.

so you were spinning the tires? having torqueless hondas all my life..and then the bike has taught me to slip clutch rather than spin tire. man...now i dunno what to do!! 2.0 is great.

No tire spin, that will just kill the 60 times. Just a smooth balanced launch will give you the best times. I was raised around Drag Racing and have been doing it since I was 11 years old. I used to have a 8 second Camaro that I ran in Heavy street, My dad was a super stock world record holder in the 70's and my mom had a 7 second Corvette that she ran top sportsman in.

ok. here we go. how can you possibly launch at 4k and not slip tires/clutch!? ive never launched this car so maybe its possible. but dont you have to then "get into" VTEC. as opposed to BEING in VTEC. it feels like my car MAJORLY bogs down right before VTEc. from like 5-6k its a deadzone. 3-4k has much more power, to me. we will see...should be exciting. ill be videoing all these runs. but i have an older sony cam. not sure if i can get it onto the intarwebs.
