I am new to this site and this is the first forum I have tried. I have a 2000 civic ex coupe 5 speed D16Y8. I was making progress slowly in the quarter mile. I recently got my time to 15.9, then I added an ACT street disc and flywheel, along with a Skunk2 cam gear, Unorthodox pulleys, and a Skunk2 Pro series intake manifold. Now my time is 16.2 all damn day. When the clutch was being installed the air assist valve solenoid was broken off of the trans. I plugged the hole for now. Is there any way that this part makes that much difference? If its any help I also have a VAFC2 and an MSD ignition. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Well, I've called at least 4 different shops. They all have good reputations. I was looking into getting a new fuel rail, injectors, and a pressure regulator. Every one of the shops said I would be wasting my time. They said, unless I was running forced induction, the stock fuel settings will be fine on hondas. These were all tuning shops, and one of them has an 8 second civic hatch, so I took there word for it. I hope it just needs to be tuned and it's nothing big.
