15.9 GSR w/ Intake GooD?
Well i hit up the tracks yesterday, this is my first time going, I have a 95 GSR w/ a AEM cold air and i hit a 16.2 then a 15.9. We got in 2 runs, is that time decent? If I had a VTeC controller would you guys think it would help my time? If so, how much? thanks

Drag racing is about consistency and it has a lot to do with the driver. Your times are a little on the slow side, but they will improve with practice. What were your 60ft times? 1/8 mile et and MPH? 1/4 mile MPH?
A VTEC controller isn't going to help drop your times. If you had other supporting mods like a header, high flow cat, and an exhaust, a VTEC controller would help to optimize these parts and ultimately your times should be quicker ... but you can be quicker with practice. Then when you add more mods/HP/TQ, you'll be even faster than before.
Practice, practice, practice.

In all honesty, your times are pretty high.
It may be the altitude... what's your elevation ?
Last time you had a tuneup?
And ... as before... practice practice practice. Some guys can hit 14.9 with just an intake.

Alright, I'll say it.
16.2/15.9 is pathetic for a '95 GS-R in lower elevations.
I ran my RX-7 in stock condition last October with a clogged exhaust system and questionable 6-ports. With wussy launches, I got a 16.2 1/4et, 2.3x 60'. This is in a similar weight car with a slight RWD advantage, but I'm figuring I had about a whopping 110 wheel horsepower at best (I've dyno'd it with mods since, so that would be a fair estimate.)

Thanks for the honesty everyone, I'm only 16, so I got times to work on my launching. 15.5 is the stock time, 14.9 with an intake is just amazing. I'm running on 15" Kuhmo's, soon to get some Neo-Gens on 17", might mess up my times but ill stick better, i hope

Just for comparison, my friend's gsr ran 9.7 in the 1/8 mile tonight with 2.3 60 foots @ around 72-73 mph. My intake/header 91 sentra ran 9.1 @ 74.5...mmm nothing like a 1.9 60 foot raping WRX's out of the hole.
