ok, back when i first got my car, it did a 10.1 1/8 mile @ 69 totally stock. then i modded it(PR CAI, pacesetter header, pacesetter catback) and i did a 9.43 1/8 mile @73MPH. i was happy. then the tranny broke, and I had to sell all the mods to finance a new one :( i took the car back with just a cone filter and did 10.1, but this time trapped 71, which is decent for an almost stock classic. fast forward a few months. my buddy just bought a 94 se-r for a DET swap that came with a Stillen 4-2-1 header and a courtesy/topspeed 2.5" mandrel catback. being the nice guy that he is, he gave them to me, and i put those on, along with my new b14 wheels, and hit the strip tonight. the best that i could do was a 9.9@69-70 :mad: im not sure whats wrong, the header was cracked when i got it and i had it welded, but it still leaks a little. the car was running REALLY shitty for 2 days due to a massive intake leak, and it messed the plugs up pretty bad, so tomorrow im gonna change the plugs and check the timing. any other suggestions??
thanks

ok i know b13 has 14in wheels and a b-14 (se-r) has 15in is your tire size diffrent. A smaller tire is like changing your gears lower and bigger tire is like a higher gear

i changed the plugs today, it had some crusty looking bosch plats in it, i put NGK BKR6E-11's gapped at .045" and it seems to run alot smoother. i may go to the track again tonight, so we'll see

Man, I didn't read that properly, and I thought you were running quarters at that time, and I'm thinking, "You're complaining you're down on power with a stock car with those times?!" Was also wondering how you were clocking such short times with such low final speeds
:D

OK 1st Playa what where your 60' times?
Where they as good as you 9.9 runs?
Don't get down on yourself!
After I swapped engines and bought the UR 2 pulley set I just knew I was going to run a 9.5-9.4 run. Well the first couple of trips to the track I was barely making a 9.7.
I went tonight and tried some new luanching tech. and ran a
9.465 with a 2.142 60'.
give it time and go back next week, it will probably get better.
