yeah im not planning on touching the engine / tranny for a while given that it is a new car. I've been trying to research up on my car but I'm car illiterate but im learning slowly. Thanks for the suggestions and help =)

Yeah I'm learning slow too and I have like 10 billion posts. I'm just about to order some stabilizer bars and some TEIN Coilovers for my car :thumbup: which can be seen in a thread about how long I detailed my car Hit me up on AIM or PM (private message) if you have any dumb questions that you feel embarrassed to ask here

In all honesty, you were teh suck to get 15.76...I'd expect 15.2 or so stock. Weather conditions? Bad reaction time?

Bottom line is the most gains you will see are going to be in headers. Atleast 20 Hp. I know with Acura if I buy and install anything Comptech it will not void my warrantee. I'm not sure if Honda acts in the same way but check with your dealership.

You could sleep at the stage for a minute and your 1/4 time will not be effected.

Reacation time doesn't lower your 1/4 time.

R/T doesnt mean anything for the time, I could get a .500 r/t and then get a 6.50 r/t and still get a better time with the 6.50 r/t. Humidity was a bit of a factor...85% compared to 76%, but not that huge.

Yeah sorry I've never drag raced. Well what was the problem then? I mean 15.7 is pretty slow for that car.

You can't put an aftermarket header on the J30A4.


The most gains you will see are going to be with F/I :thumbup:
