14 second 2-valver

It is the tire spin that caused the Z to lose. The Z had the better reaction time but lost as he had no traction. Gotta work on the launch!;)
 
What kills me is that he couldn't catch up before around 1200 feet! Even with a bad launch, he should be able to catch my grandpa car when he's only .4 seconds down or so.
 
So go back for a rematch and see what happens. The next time you will get it handed to you. Glory is in this race but my money is on the other guy in the next. He spun the tires hard and if it was a stick car he may have missed a gear on top of it. Some days you get lucky!:)
 
he had a lot of wheel spin.

i owned a 2000 civic si with a turbo, putting 230hp to the wheels(somebody stole it), i ran a 14.961, at 106mph....spun through 1st,2nd, and part of 3rd on balding street tires....a lot of people dont truely believe me when i tell the the 106mph part.

Thats my trap speed in my 12.8 car...
 
that was a decent rt from a import guy most of them suck at the tree
I lost to a subaru running 12.9 to a 15.01 but lost by .2 cut a .001 light I was on
 
Hmm thats weird, I have the exact same mods you do minus the High Stall Con. and I run a 14.5. Who tuned your programmer? BOC? Did you make sure to pull all the crap out of your trunk? I had a full size spare, a sub box with 2 12" and a few other items and ran a 14.9, pulled that crap out at the strip and ran a 14.55.

I guess location has a lot to do with it, altitude, humidity etc.

I think I've seen you on CVN, stopped going there on account of the vast majority of the population being D-bags.

I had the same mods on my car (stock converter) and @ the same track as Kurt (PantherP73) and ran a best of 14.97 there with a 14.99 average around 97-99 MPH
 
I already have 3.73s... if I could do it again I would have gone 4.10s, but I road trip a lot and still like my 21-22 MPG.

UPDATE.... I have run two 14.94s and two 14.97s in the past few weeks. Tweaking my torque converter lockup schedule has bumped up my MPH as well... it was in the 89 MPH range... now almost 91.
 
I think your stall speed is too high. 2valves don't make the power at the high side like the 4v motor does. A 2600, 2800 and maybe a 3000 stall would be better suited for your engine power. Also if your tune isn't spot on with trans/torque converter stuff it will hurt you.

I went from 14.25 stock converter to 14.6x with 3500 stall converter that wasn't tuned right. Once I got the proper tune I went to 14.19, then 14.07 and at that point I put on my 16" drag radials and went 13.74 then 13.72.
