Well after spending the time and $$ to get the car ready, I finally hit Moroso on Friday in the Civic. I left only mildly dissapointed, but I'll be back Here are my best 3 times:

60' 2.504
1/4 14.417
MPH 99.34
@ 10psi

60' 2.327
1/4 14.458
MPH 99.46
@ 10psi

60' 2.327
1/4 14.587
MPH 96.33
@8psi

My MPH's were consistent 98-99MPH @9.5-10psi, and my 60' times were consistent 2.3-2.4 with a couple exceptions. Overall I was ok with it all, but I still felt I could have done a little better. I was running on nearly no gas and I feel that's what hurt me on my last run which was a 14.45, I felt like the car was sputtering down the track, and that may have been the car having a problem picking up fuel during the acceleration since the pickup is at the front of the tank. BTW this was of course on my Civic which is stock (internally) with RC 440's, 255lph pump and V-AFC trim, running with full interior, nearly no gas and off the stock GReddy DP and on stock street tires (185/60/R14). I'll be back!

P.S. I fogot to mention, on my 2nd run, I registerd a boost spike of .89bar!! I was running .70bar at the time.. whew!!

pretty impressive times> keep up the good work! I dont ever "drag" race my clips, but I think it would go high 15 low 16 on drags> the reason I say this is cause the road course here in spokane has the 1/4 mile as its straightaway, so that is where we start at and it takes me about 16 seconds to get to the quartermile mark at about 90-95 mph. That was running on BFG 225/40/16 euro t/a's.(about the crappiest tire out there, slide here , slide there,) I think that road racing is much more fun than drag racing, just my opinion though. Anyway keep uo the good work on the civic.
