Darn it... went to the track today - Acura Forum

Pure Adrenaline · 10-09-03, 03:32 AM

As for power mods, I only have a K&N. So basically stock.

The best run I had was --

R/T -- .578
60 -- 2.294
1/4 -- 15.272
MPH -- 90.30

77 degrees out, 90+% humidity.

I'm in Michigan, so not on a high elevation or anything.

How did I do??

*rominl* · 10-09-03, 03:34 AM

i think it's pretty good, no? that high of a humidity, numbers are going to be not as good for sure

Pure Adrenaline · 10-09-03, 03:43 AM

Well, we're going back next week when it's a bit cooler. If it dips into the 50's, I think I can pull off 14's.

tabraha · 10-09-03, 09:42 AM

That's pretty reasonable I believe too. That's some really high humidity for you guys isn't it?

ice091298 · 10-09-03, 11:08 AM

pretty damn good reaction time there. your 60 foot seems about average for the type s, no? so yeah, wait till it gets cooler with less humidity and you should be in the 14's easy

n2oJunkie · 10-09-03, 12:32 PM

better then a lot of other people have done w/ mods!

pretty good

Pure Adrenaline · 10-09-03, 12:51 PM

Thanks, guys.

I was surprised that I got pretty decent reaction times. I even beat a 9-second dragster in R/T!!

Anyway... I'm not too happy with the numbers. I'm gonna get exhaust and CAI. I'm ditching K&N.

looney010 · 10-09-03, 02:31 PM

headers would be more of a performance increas, get a cai and headers, u should be in 14's for sure, good run though nonetheless

4everhonda · 10-09-03, 03:14 PM

I think those numbers seem better than average. You will only get better from there.

CAI - 180 bucks
Exhaust - 585 bucks

Headers - 1000 bucks.

I think I'll get CAI and exhaust first, then get headers in the spring.

I just spent 300 bucks on the sway bars and 170 on the springs, so I'm a little tight on cash.

Pure - it's too bad you're not closer - I think I'd get about the same time for the 1/4 in my MINI (stock MINI S is getting about 15.4 or 15.5)...would love to race a stock TLS to see what I could pull....i have an intake (pulley next month for the SC

)

oh ok... but it's a grand if u get the CT's, you can always spend half that (or less) for OBX or Stone Racing... supposedly they are good too... but if u want uncompromised quality, i guess CT is the way to go, have fun! btw, wut exhaust are u looking at?

4everhonda · 10-09-03, 04:06 PM

Going to a track depends on the track. I have been to tracks that only charge $10 and I have paid as much as $40 but never more than that. They want lots of cars so they can get more spectators. You have to have a valid license, insurance, and a helmet. They might also do a safety inspection so make sure your car has good tires, seat belts, and in decent shape. I’m sure it is but I have seen guys try and race 1975 Chevy trucks with no seat belts and bald tires so it never hurts to mention it.

don't bother w/ exhaust, you won't get anything out of it. Use that money for headers
