you could run a different cam.....that would do you pretty well i think. but yes...chips are a waste...theres a sticky on them in the ECU/Fuel management section.

all's i have to say is dont underestimate him just cuz you're gutted and have a b18...you never know. **** i almost lost to a focus but hey its all in the start. if you get a good start on him and get him off the line...you shouldn't have a prob. but work on ur reaction time. i always do when im sitting at a light and i wait for the other to turn red then i get ready for mine to turn green and kinda go from there. kind of an odd way of doin it but it helps you get used to the feeling...i suppose.

ORIGINAL: DonkeyBalls

I have a 91 civic hatchwith a b18a1 swap. No interior. steering wheel, seat, and a shifter only.

There is a guy at my work with a 03 mustang gt with cold air intake talking noise. He keeps wanting a money race. I think i can beat him in the 1/8. I am getting mixed opinions. What do you all think?

Well we went to the track yesterday and this is what happened. And he put drag slicks on.

nice race....i see he was gaining on you at top end...but you held him off, and had good starts..(w/ the exception of the early start)...way to go[sm=smiley20.gif]
