Haven't gotten to the track with it running properly, I went after I got chipped but I was leaking boost I was spiking 18psi and leveling around 15-16psi, now with the leak fixed I spike to 24psi and hold at 18psi creeping back up to 24psi. I ran a 16.3 with the leak(17.4 stock), but I'm assuming it'd run a 15.3-15.6 or so with these numbers, maybe better if my clutch held the power better, it chooses to let go every so often Problem isn't in the power it's that I only have 4500 usable rpm :ugh: Pulls like a beast on the highway 80-100 is only a couple seconds in 5th. I pulled on a new civic si at the toll booth last night and just kept on pulling, but I think the idiot didn't know how to driveh:

Dude, that is the definition of power (HP=torque x RPM / 5252). So power is the problem, right ?

thats probably your registration. Title deeds the car to you indefinitely until you give it to somebody else. Thats the definition of title.

there used to be a lavender neon running around here with a VTEC badge on it. and if you ever tried to talk to the kid, he'd say "yeah its a lot faster since i put a VTEC on it" as if VTEC was something you could put on your car :chuckles:
