considering the wheels and compression (especially the wheels) I'd say you did pretty well. Keep up the good work:thumbup:

a 90 mph ET ? what mods are you running to the b18c? there MAY be something going on with your motor.....

I have an integra gsr and when I first ever took my car to the strip(which i sucked at doing because it was my first time) I got a 15.4 at 92mph.

I'm not trying to be a super-d!ck but a turbo isn't going to make you faster-learning to drive will.
People r/t DOES NOT MATTER you can have a 10 sec r/t and you'd still run whatever you're going to run.
After you get this turbo do you think it's gonna help you launch? Nope, 17's won't kill you're launch that bad, just get a feel for it and 9.5-1 CR only means you lost what? 5-10 hp from a 10-1 CR? So you're power between you and a stock GSR engine you should STILL be making more power. You would be hitting 14's w/ a better launch.
Good luck.

I'm very aware of the r/t and what effect it has on the end time. I'm also aware that I'm not a good driver yet and never claimed to be. 
That's why I hit the track, to learn more about how to drive the car and what to do differently.
As for the turbo, even if I do suck at launching, I'll hit 14s without a problem.h:
As for the CR, it's a little more than that. I run extremely rich because of my fuel mods and a few other mods that are soley for the purpose of having a turbo. I'm willing to run a bad time now in order to run that much better with the turbo. I'm a patient man, and also aware of my abilities. I'm still learning - that's part of the reason for this post, to get ideas of what I might be doing wrong.
Thanks for the info!

I just sold too many projects, you'll learn better launching techniques in time. Good luck.
