well this dude on a DX civic, he had a B18 engine with headers, 2.5in exhaust, short ram intake, hondada.

he told me he was around 200WHP, im like right. before he starts racing he puts a huge bag of ice on the intake manifold, he said it helps a lot. and so he asked me if i would race him, and so we did run like 3 times and all 3 time he lost like by 1 car from my rear bumper.

i think he was one of thouse guys who thinks that headers can give u 30WHP. but anyways. my car club was all happy with my ST.

ohhhhhhh and i lost like by 4-6 cars by a SRT-4, i bet him at start very very bad, but then i guess later his turbo started boosting and passed me like if i was doing 10 and he was like 40 sad.

my best run was 16.416-16.5 @ 82 mph with just and intake, i was doing 16.8 @ 80 stock

p.s. this is one mile above the sea lvl

not bad, but it could be even better. The ST has the 2.3L right? you should at least be in high 15s to very low 16s.

i thought the ST ran high 15s stock. not bad though, and it sounds like Mr. Civic was lying about his car or he just cant drive

^^^p.s. this is one mile above the sea lvl^^^
And that, is why he's not in the high 15s to low 16s.[

]
Altitude kills an NA engine.

When I recently took a trip to Seattle, from our home elevation of 4,000'+,
I swore I had an extra 2 cylinders all of a sudden when I jumped on it at sea level.

I know, I read that.[

] His times could still be a little better. Prolly has some traction issues.

yes i might. but most of the times i was runing against cool cars and i know i can get 16.5 easy, i just dont want to try different thigs and lose, i was racing that guy most of the time cause he was from a different car club. and so i though that it would be better not to try different stuff against him.

i launch at 4k RPM, and shift @ 6k and i can get an easy 16.5,

Why would it matter if you lose, you go to the track for times and to improve those times. I mean, if you only went to the track "RACE" people then that is fun and all, but you should try different things to improve your time not to just race somebody.

^^^^^ true but like i said it was like a club pride.

oh and by the way the spec v's are not that fast. my friends back spec v was doing best 16.01. with just an intake, when i raced him the 1st time i won then the second time i lost against him.

there was this other spec v (red) with exhaust and CAI, and i bet him once, then the next time i lost by like 1-2 feet
