I will give it to you that anything IS possible, but taking a high 14s car into the 13s will take more than tires.

yeah 13's won't happen without i'd say full bolt ons hondata reflash and a great set of tires. or some drag radials.

I was consistent...I have enough traction issues...if I had slicks....yeah, I would have seen a lower 14...that's a no duh.

And yeah, some people are hitting 13's with i/h/e and reflash...mostly in sub degree weather and those tracks in NJ must be slightly down hill with the wind in the back helping to push...lol. Ah, I'm just jealous I guess.

hey well about tires I just got a set of bfgoodrich g-force tration t/a drag radials 225/45/R17 and I bogged horribly and had a 2.231 60' I was not happy.

ouch...that sucks...did you bog after your take off? I noticed that happened a couple of times...wonder if it's the DBW

batrup99jeremy · 03-15-2008, 09:46 PM

yea i bogged down to just above 3000 and i have the reflash and nitrous kicks in at 5000 I only had two runs and i was dumping the clutch. how could i fix this any ideas???
I was thinking i could turn the nitrous down to 4000 so it when kick in right when i launch, or i was thought instead on dumping the clutch i could just ease it out until it reads 1 MPH then rev it alot higher then drop the clutch. I had no problem spinning the tires for my burn out...
