Default how could I impove these times?

2003 Accord V6 Coupe w/injen race division intake


R/T=1.218
60'=2.340
330=6.404
1/8=9.681
mph=74.65
1000=12.526
1/4=14.913
mph=94.65

With my trap speed of 94.65, I know that the car is capable of shaving a few tenths off, and its certainly not the top end holding me back. My 60' of 2.34 can be improved, I might be getting some Nitto 555R's or the like soon so that should get it into the 2.2's hopefully, but any other techniques I should be aware of? Its an auto, I tried brake torquing and my times were around 15.1.

With an auto, about the best you can do is brake torque the launch, with the tranny forced into first gear, and then slowly bump up the transmission at redline each gear without lifting off the throttle. Letting the tranmission shift on it's own will slow you down some, but so will the initial kickdown since auto transmissions like to try and launch in second or third if possible.

BTW, you know this forum is more for the twisty track guys right?
