Quote: Hey what did you do or use to get your corrected times? I raced at Cali Speedway in August and ran a 14.43 @98 N/A. I could of done better if I brake torqued. What size DR's do you have? I have 245/40 18 on my stock G wheels since I thought the 265 would be too wide for the wheel. Good luck on the 3rd. Anyone know the air density altitude for LACR? The best I can do there is a 14.8-15.2.

I also use weatherchannel.com for the weather needs of this website.

I ran 265.40.18 bfg's. they fit fine no rubbing. I got the altitude from the websites. I think lacr is 2700 ft. try this,

Altitude Correction
LACR is 2,710 ft. above sea level.
To figure the altitude factor the formula is as follows:
ET: multiply your et (at LACR) by .97
MPH: multiply your mph (at LACR) by 1.03
This will give you the ET & MPH at sea level

Try these on 800 view size much better!

Cool vids.
Looks just how my car used to look.

I was getting 13.8 at LACR with the Stillen S/C & street tires.
Practically no traction
Although I have gone through a few bottles around town, I never got to run with the 55 shot of n2o hooked up at the track... wish I did.

Do you have a aps now? with nos?

Quote: How does one do one of those long burn outs?
2nd gear burn-out...plus, if you keep bouncing off your rev limiter, you're bound to break something...get in the water hole and punch through 1st and as you are spinning and reving high, shift gears to 2nd and LIGHT them up...that's the only way I've been able to do a long burnout and NOT bounce off of the rev limiter...the other way is to install LINE LOCK...

Nah, I sold my n2o kit & accessories to Kamal which I'll be installing on his built SFR TT G35.

All I have now is CP pistons, Crower rods, JWT cams, p&p, Koyo, APS TT, TF actuators, AAM tp's, Stillen exhaust, KAAZ lsd, Tein, sway bars, brakes, & some Volks. Nothin' special....... untill I get it tuned

Although I have a 5AT, I also had a hard time warming the tires up. I'll be installing line-locks.
I used to have a ton of blow-by with the SC, so i'd suggest getting an oil catch can. I got mine for under $100 shipped from Forged Internals.com.
The IC pumps fuse goes out from time to time, so listen for that humm every time you turn the key on the "on" position.
It would be cool to see your car in action.
Good luck.
I'd like to see how things(dynos/times/kills) work out for you.

Quote: nice vids...I've ran there too and the best i could pull off with my 19's was a 13.4...here's a pic of me staging there...aawww, CalSpdWay! I love it.

BTW, what were your 60' times like? I couldn't get better than a 2.22

**sorry, saw your 60' time in your first post...DAMN, you had to be running slicks, no? If not, what type of tires and at what pressure.
Here is my pic staging.

Very nice meng! Makes me want to get a s/charger instead of the Turbonetics. Hood is what changes my mind though.
Either way, glad to see someone with a badass car and some proof. Unlike some of our more (ughnmmmmm) violent posters

Quote: I had a decent run I was pretty happy. Still want more but for know I'm content. This is a lot faster than the 14.7's I was running stock at the same track. I love kill'n those dern honda's.
Based on:
Temp: 85°
Humidity: 58%
Track Altitude: 1120 feet
Pressure: 30.19 in.


Density Altitude = 3035 feet ET MPH
Uncorrected 13.44 @ 104.57
Corrected 12.96 @ 108.32

My 60' was 2.020

Are you sure tat's it's the density altitude that's used for correction? DA is used, from what I know, to adjust for effective airfoil efficiency/performance (airpane propellers, wings) given pressure altitude and temperature. The temperature correction that goes into calculating DA is not as relevant for true air density calculations, and is a measure of what the performance (if it had applied to interal combustion engines) would have been not at 85 degF at sea level, but at 59 deg F (15 deg C) at sea level. Also, know that the altitude/elevation corrections do not apply to FI cars the same way they apply to NA cars; pressure/efficiency is regained by FI at elevations. Also, was it 30.19" ambient, ot was it the altimeter setting? The reason I say this is if itwere the latter (which is wha't ost often reported in the area), then it can actually help your numbers, not hurt them.

The car sounds very nice, and pulls nicely as well!!! I am not trying to rain on your parade, only to point out what the accurate number are more likely to me IMO (I may be wrong, of course). I just think that your car, especially with the very nice launch, pulled pretty much as advertised. I just don't think that there is a 0.5 second correction is 1000' of altitude. However, if it were cooler (59degF) at sea level as well, the car would much more likely to get that ET.
