Thread: B14's first track day

So I took my 208k mile b14 to the 1/8 mile for the first time tonight. I haven't drag raced in about 7 years so I feel ok with my times. Car has normal bolt ons with 17 degree timing and a gut job. Here are some slips... Any advice or CONSTRUCTIVE comments are welcome.

Best et... Right lane


Best mph... Right lane


Best reaction time... Right lane

Good and consistent. Get back out there more often and have fun with it man.

Thanks man. Any idea what similar setups run? Just trying to gauge how the old girl is doing with that many miles...

I'd say you're on track for that many miles. I think an engine in it's prime would run a little quicker though.

Right on. I am addressing some things like new jwt filter and iat sensor not being in the pipe. Lol I didn't even know I had a jwt pop charger until I pulled the filter to go buy a new one but the 6 inch flange killed that. The old one is dry rotted and beyond cleaning... I will post the new results when I get them.

Just got back from my second night and was able to squeeze a 9.81@70.73mph. I am pretty happy with that considering what I've got. Smoked an old civic hatch in the process so I am double happy!

Been staying at it and I'm down to a 9.65@73mph. I am putting in the 91-93 intake cam this weekend. Any ideas of what that will add hp wise?

Those times and numbers look good for the first time out in 7 years!!!! I am poor at drag racing but interested in becoming more proficient at it. I cannot offer any advice so hopefully some other more stellar fellow drag racers can help ya out.

Keep up the good work, @Chefjrod1

Do it, I did it 8-9 years ago on a buddy of mines car. We ran before and after vs a spev-v and went from loosing to passing him in 3rd gear and going.
Worth the trouble if its what one has.
