Those numbers aren't bad, but I would think they'd be a lil better at 6psi. Any Idea whats up?

I know this sounds stupid and a little bit like an excuse, but I think the gtech gets a little confused with the smooth acceleratin of the SC. I haven't had it since I changed my clutch, but I coudn't get it under 15.9 either. Well, when I first got it I ran a 15.6 and I know I am faster then that. See, the problem is, is that you didn't run it before you had the SC. It might have been 18.1 before, and that's a 2 second gain, you never know. The gtech may not be very accurate, but it is precise, meaning it will give you the same results every time... even if they are wrong.

I raced a truck this weekend and it runs 14.8's all day at the track. AS a matter of fact, we were coming back from the track where he ran 14.8. It has a 350 w/ a turbo500 (tranny). And I pulled him, so I know I am in the high 14's at least.

Yes you did. My guess would be slowmatic tranny + stock exhaust. Although honestly I think the tranny is mostly responsible.

Well 7.61 on the 0-60 is only .17 off from my best hand-timed 0 to 60, and most factory vehicles that I can find that run a 7.6 to 60 run high 15's to low 16's in the quarter, so yeah it might be off a little, but at least it gives me an idea. I'm pretty sure I'm not running low 15's anyway. I was pretty sure of that even before I got the Gtech. Even with the charger, the thing just really starts to huff and puff above ~70 MPH or so.

The thread title was sort of a joke anyway. The charger has knocked 2+ seconds of my 60, and I'm sure at least 2 seconds off my quarter. I could never make an accurate 1/4 measurement stock, but trust me, it was "oh my god" slow. Anyway for the kind of driving I do, how fast I can get from 60 to 100 is really not that important. Sure I will probably get some other bolt-ons and try to shoot for low 15's, but for my daily driving, that nice dose of low end feels plenty fast. The charger has pretty much performed as advertised, and I am satisfied with it. I just think it's funny that the Honda auto tranny is SOOO slow to begin with, that's all.

Yeah, sub-7 zero to sixty and a 15 flat 1/4 or better are my personal goals, but I don't know if that's gonna be doable or not with just 6 lbs. and bolt-ons. What do you guys think?

You said you have stock exhuast right? Thats a big limiter for you. Get a nice DC header, a decat pipe, and a catback. Get a bigger TB. Then learn how to launch with your auto tranny. One foot on the brake on on gas, and power brake it, then gun it. I think with these in reality, you should run a 15.5 easy. Atleast get the exhuast part done.
