I just got back from the track. I ran a 13.5 @ 103mph I pulled a 2.0 60' :? . Only thing I did was take my passanger seat out, darg raidals @ 13psi and jack/spear tire. Oh yeah no power steering either. Weather was ok but I'm in Louisiana and this track I go to sucks ass. I'm happy with my time over all. . I can't wait to turn my boost up dammit.
My boy ran a 12.4 @ 8psi in his LS-VTEC (fully built on race slicks) Civic SI. I'll post some video up really soon.

Well my 1st and 2nd runs I dumped it and had very bad wheel hop (flash backs of locking my CV joints) so my 3rd run I didn't care about my reaction time and feathered the clutch from about 5.5 to 6k rpm. Wheels didn't even brake lose. Right once I was gone I knew this run would be nice. I don't think I could have lauched any better then I did tell you the truth and still cut a .556 light...

erik nice run.... you have more in the car man. try launching harder and feathering it out...... also try addin some air to your tires....I pulled a 2.0 60ft on DR's with 20 psi air in them....just make sure you heat them up a lot

great times Erik... Congrats!
btw: your E/T has nothing to do with the overall run time you get. E/T's only matter in bracket racing.

Everyone in my area is buying the jimfab traction bar and it seems to be cutting wheel hop like crazy.One guy in my area has a turbo b16 in a crx and ran on street tires at the track and wheel hoped like crazy then he got the jimfab and cut all the hop.I think they are around $300 and I believe the website is www.jimfab.com just incase anyone is interested 
it said on the site that it will cut on the 60ft time so that is pretty cool.I"m gonna try it out then I'll post it up later to let anyone interested know if it makes a difference on my setup
