Mid 6 0-60 and mid 13s?? Your traction must be unparalleled! Slicks I'm guessing?

Nope. Bridgestone Potenzas.
Stock my car runs 6.7 0-60 and in the high 13s to low 14s. I usually to get extremely good traction off the line though. I wonder what I would run on slicks?

Actually, you'd probably crush your rear on slicks! And I was just wondering about the 0-60, it seems extraordinarly low for your quarter to be so quick.

Well I loose a lot of accel in third gear. It angers me, but I am thinking about chipping it and taking the boost up to about 21psi. That should compensate.

Just for clarification. VTEC- Variable Valve timing and lift electronic control. Yes it changes valve timing to optomize performance but it also changes the duration of the lift on the cams which lets this happen. This is the reason why honda engines can make power at such high RPM's and its also to try and sqeeze some torque out of the engine when running up in the power band. It elimates the need for high end or low end tuning. VTEC cams acctually have two extra lobes (for a four valve per cylinder engine) for the high end power. So you acctually have low RPM lobes and high RPM lobes. So esentially when you hit VTEC you have completly changed your valve timing and the power band just about starts anew. The cams are the basis for VTEC.

i honestly feel sorry for u ppl, a ricer is happy about taking his lil moddified civic and "beating" a v6 2.8L camaro with 135 HP and less in torque and only winning by a half a car length............not to knock u guys but how bout next time you race an L98 or maybe an LB9 or even an LG4 car for that matter.....you wouldnt stand a chance

even tho i hate rice and always will, it doesnt take a thouand hp to beat a stock v6 camaro...............and i liked the part "first race ive won in a while"....i wonder why

Well the first cool thing you did is dig up a thread that is a year old, then you follow that up with making this your first post. Congradulations, you sir are a moron. Instead of digging up old shit to make a biased uneducated statment, why don't you find something usefull to contribute, even if it is not in this forum.

On that note, my first car was an 88 camaro RS sporting the 2.8L, yes the car is horribley under-powered. My second was an 87 camaro iroc-z, a bit more powerful but in the end, it turned out to be another pos. I like both domestic and import cars alike, it is just a matter of taste. Imports may not be your thing, but be rest assured there are quite a few very fast ones out there.

its never too late for a correction

im just makin sure that ppl such as yourself dont think that any1 sporting the infamous civic thinks they have a chance against any Lb9 or L98 camaro......and i just think its funny when a ricer brags about when they beat a big ass car with no power.....also, im guessing your iroc was an LG4, not a ton of power but yes it has power, plus im guessing it was a POS cause you fucked it up in one way or another

btw, lovin your torque #'s

It doesn't take a lot of torque to move a 2500lbs car..
