Quarter mile improvements with bolt-ons?

TRY2HNG · 10-18-2006, 03:20 PM

I know the Civic Si typically runs very low 15s bone stock, but I was curious if anyone had done minor bolt-ons like air intake, header, exhaust and gone back to the track to see a real world difference. Im curious if you can shave off a half second with just a few simple mods..
thanks

I don't think that bolt-ons would shave a full .5 second off you 1/4 mile, but they would have a positive effect, nonetheless.

Learning how to launch and row through the gears properly would probably shave more time off your 1/4 mile than the bolt-ons would. Practice, practice, practice...

member's have ran low 14's bonestock on cold nights.
Bolt ons for me= aggressive sound and better accelaration
