into what you got and turn your prelude into a badass looking top speed
runner. in my opinion drag racing is for pro competition that sponsors
supply lots of money into a car just to get a fraction of a second better
time to win. and its over in what seconds. most amatuers doing it just
for fun only reach certain 1/4 mile times for the money they can put
in it , but those times have been done over and over, instead i would focus
on building a highly tuned turbo engine thats reliable with big turbo and find out on
the gearing you need for the transmission to reach good top speeds like
200mph+ not many out there that can do that. thats what im doing with my civic, got a fat turbo on it and swap the transmission for a integra typeR S80, running round 176 mph but still improving.lol
lol- dude
I'm not really going to run it in the q/m a lot. A handful of times (5 or 6 runs - 1 or 2 visits), but that's it. If anything I would run it for what the parts were made for and that's Auto X. I wanted to build a solid, clean set up. Again no riced out gay-ass kits, faggish altezza's etc. Also I am not going to waste my money on a Turb set up. That's fine for some, but I'm not into that. I'm into N/A. That's how my lude is and that's how any other Honda I get will stay. Also I was lmao when you were talking about reaching speeds of 200mph+. I'm no longer in the Military so I doubt I will be going over to the Auto-bahn anytime soon haha.
