I was reading up on mini-me's and I saw this:

"I was finally able to run my mini-me in the quarter mile. As you can see, [he had slips] with the VTEC working and with the 20” tires (as well as some better driving) I was able to pull off a 15.9@86, a full second faster than with the B7 with I/E. I know my motor has even more potential than this because that run was with the long ass DX tranny."

with this:

Setup:
1993 Honda Civic LX Sedan (Weighed in at 2320 lbs without driver)
D15B7 Block and Tranny
D16Z6 Head / Intake Manifold / Exhaust Manifold
Full Interior with Spare Tire, Tools
Short Ram Intake w/ removed headlight
Welded-on straight through eBay muffler
Stock Cat/Exhaust Piping
Original Clutch w/ 160,000 miles
No PS belt
175/50/13 All-Season tires on 13" VX Wheels @ 23psi

So what gives?? I HAVE a D16Z6 and I can't run a 15.9. Why is this guy's mini-me a full second faster than my z6?

mini-me has higher compression than stock d16z6. and your car is probably heavier than his.
