Going to the local dragstrip here in alaska its the first time i have ever run my 96 G20 in a stright line for time .a guy on base with a 91 accord has been talking too much trash. any tips? im thinking of running 15 psi in the front tires launching at 3400rpm and shifting at 6800 rpm.. anything i can do to keep from makeing a pile of clutch material this weekend?im not really into drag raceing (love scca solo but no scca up here).thankx for any imput

No SCCA...that sucks..

what pressure were you running? I was gonna suggest 25F/40R just for drag racing...not use about the launch Rpm but 3400RPM sounds good... Hope you can shut the accord guy up.

A 91 Accord need not be talking trash unless he's done a B18 swap or something. I destroyed a mid 90s Accord with bolt ons by about 1.5 seconds last time at the strip. It was ugly.

If your car is stock, expect about 15.5 at best if you have a 5 speed. The Accord will be 16.0+.

the accord is bone stock . has a cold air intake on its shoc four with a very tacky unpainted plastic scoop on the hood (a waste of a expensive mystic blue green paint job). no vetec and a aftermarket muffler with one of the tips that a basketball will fit thru . haveing no scca does suck i use to be a member of the cfr region in florida (still am) we ran a f440 in DM which i think is something else now.gonna feel weird not needing to brake hard after takeing 3rd gear...

What were the results of the day at the strip? I hope you showed that Accord his daddy.
