Default Finally Ran 91 Si Civic

Yeah,
I ran the Civic. Full interior.1 gen B16 I,E,H & chipped ECU,Y1 tranny& Exedy stage 1 clutch .My two runs were 15.9.Not great. Launch @5K. I'm running Si wheels w/ 205-50-15 Falken tires.
Tire pressure 35. R/T 1.247,60 ft 2.484, 330 6.885, 1/4 15.987 . I ran a EG hatch sohc his r/T was 1.180, 60 ft 2.404, 1/4 17.019. My trap speed was 89.06 / his 78.18.
The second run against a 04 Mustang GT. R/T .515, 60 ft 2.339, 1/4 14.714, 94.42 mph. My run was r/t .588, 60 ft 2.505, 15.936, 89.26 trap speed.
The next time I run I was going to make my tire pressure 20-25 so that hopefully if I get my 60 ft time down I hope to get a low 15.
What you guys recommend for a faster time?

Are you spinning your wheels coming out of the hole? 5k is pretty high for a launch. Try 3500rpm's.

Yeah, I was spinning tires. I ran again 2 weeks ago. I did bad. 2 runs 16'0 & a 15'8 although I red lighted .450. I ran a 5.0 Mustang. I lauched @ 5K& 2 passes 4K.
I'm suppose to hit the track Friday if it don't rain. I'll be taking my spare tire & box out to lighten up car some. I had car weighed w/ me 2500K exactly. I'll try leaving at 3500K

tire pressure 35psi? that's a bit high and 20psi seems too low unless you're running drag radials. I would try between 25-30psi

Your not running on slicks so running on low psi isn't going to do you any good
