Have you allowed your engine it's proper break in period, usually around 500 miles? I wouldn't be stomping on it just yet if it had not been broken in properly.
There are alot of other factors you have to consider to when it comes to racing, raw horsepower is a wonderful thing, but it is no good if it doesn't connect. The slicks should help in that aspect. Good Luck!

Ya, sweet story man, a lot of people talked crap about my car and about how they were gonna smoke me. But once I got it, I asked people to back it up, but they make up excuses.

lol, yep that is so true, stupid civics.

Anyhow, I sorta do have a story, I raced a kid at my work, he has a 66 mustang, and he beat me by barely anything, now I got my shift kit and stuff so we are gonna have a rematch soon, I think I'll win

Other than that I am going legit, if someone challenges me I will take up the offer, but I won't go hunting for people, and you know the occasional stop light meeting, I'll still participate

Oh....and I did race some stupid kid I know, he had a neon, he raced me twice, lol smoked him hardcore of course.

But ya, I am gonna play it safe more often from now on.

oh yeh everyone that tries to provoke peeps i mean it stupid cuz u may not kno what the other guy OR GURL has lol also there are sum sleepers out there that i wouldn't dare mess with lol i mean yeh if it comes down to a red light then yeah i will participate, i think if people try to race me all i have to say is "you didnt say the secret word"!!!!!jk all they have to do is ask and also if they ask then they talk **** then i have to back down cuz i know those kids are new in the game and probably dont know how to handle their car thats probably why we have so much fatalities, but i'll just tell them hey buddy race a few other cars then come to me cuz sumtimes u need to earn respect and u just cant come up and challange them and then start talking ish u know?thats not how it works. that shows me that they are new rookies that bearly got in the game.
