Sorry, I forgot you are driving a Civic, I think your ride is lighter than the R, so you are right, it may be possible, I hope it is.

maybe a couple of tenths better. I will do stronger axles before I go slicks. I think I can do better on drag radials still once I'm tuned. Once I can't improve anymore, then it will be slick time.

the reason i ask is i know a guy with almost the same setup running 12.2, 12.3 on slicks ~ stock ecu. he is also lacking the 3" exhaust. do you think the exhaust and the right computer management will put him in the 11.99999 range?

ps- jan should go into 11's on slicks with his set up now. 114mph is a mid 11 second trap on slicks so he should do that. I am buying a E-cut out soon so we will see if I can trap 114-117 on my new set up soon

I think 14-16psi on stock tires would be too flat, yes you'd prolly get better 60' times though you'd be slowing down at the end of the track caues the tires would be too flat...

I'm happy with the performance I'm getting outta this motor, afterall the ITR motor isn't really designed for dragging...but its working pretty good I think. I've done a lot of racing in the last few years so I know I can pull my times on stockers down a few tenths, August 15th I'll play around with the launch and tire settings some more. 14.5 seems really slow though coming from a fully built b20vtec race prepped motor turbocharged capable of pumping out 550-600 whp... I'm still getting use to going from 16psi daily driven (400+whp/300+tq) to a non-boosted 180ish/130tq baby yelling like a mofo as it screams me down the track......lol.

Yea, that's why I said run 16 to 20 on those tires. I have had success with 14-16 on Drag radials.

I'd a 13 isn't out of the Question. I ran a 13.83 with my R with full interior no spare and an AEM and JDM 4-1 on stock exhaust.

I'm trying big guy... this friday I'll hopefully find out.. Were you using stock R tires as well? Drag Radials, or slicks? I know I can get into the 13's eventually, cause my traps are high enough...just need to practice with this setup.
