How 2 Modify 2 make it Fast on the Drag

P.S. phantom grip lsd's are a waste of money as they will force your differential to tear itself apart.

And if you think porting your head gives you any power on an otherwise non-modded car you're a retard. You NEED a cam or turbo to force/allow more air in... porting an otherwise stock head is like putting a larger TB on... it's stupid.

it wasnt a 15 second quarter mile. get your eyes checked, it was 14.8. If u ever pay attention to Et times u would understand it is decent on the mods that I had done. BTW I never said it was power, not once. It is decent considering I ran on Z rated street radials. How many D16Z hatches with no internal mods with no forced induction run that ET with just bolt ons and no drag radials? None that I know. As a matter of fact I destroyed a B16 CRX at the track. Imagine that. U can reduce the weight of the Civic hatchback 200 pounds without a problem. I did. Who knows on a coupe. If u ever go to the track the 2.20 ET is not to bad considering the tires I was running on. Pirelli P7000's if u are curious. I have never seen an ITR(or any other hond for that matter) run better than a 2.35 on normal street tires. Nuff said. The Phantom grip doesnt tear apart the ring and pinion gears. WTF are u smoking? The phantom grip just wears out fast. The springs in them just wear out from heat, and abuse. Other than that brand new they work just fine. It takes about a year for the Phantom Grip (atleast in my experience). The Civic Si for that year runs 16.0's. The weight reduction u are talking about (.1 second for 100 pounds is just a rough estimate). I never said that porting a stock engine was worth it. Never a stock engine. Porting will make a big difference on a mildly modified engine, even a i/h/e. U said it wont make a difference. If u dont believe me. Why dont u call DPR? Go ask them. Obviously its about combination. Any moron knows that. BTW a cam doesnt "force air". U need to study a bit more on what it actually does.

P.S. bottom line is weight reduction will make your car faster. U cant just say 500 pounds and 5 tenths. That is just a rough estimate. I ran a 14.8 on a little D16. To be honest I dont know how much of a different it makes, but it does make a difference in ET's. As far as price for dollar goes. Take the CAI. It is known to be the best bang for the buck mod. What does it give u like 2 or 3 tenths in the quarter over stock? For what 200 dollars(for AEM)? Ok so how does like 2 to 4 tenths (200 pound weight reduction in a hatch) sound for free? Ring any bells????? Hmm I think it does make a difference. The head porting lets not even get started on that.....
